Troubleshooting

Coating is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and free of loose debris before application. Consider using a primer if the surface is particularly smooth or non-porous.

Coating is taking too long to dry.

Ensure proper ventilation and avoid applying the coating in excessively humid conditions. Check the manufacturer's guidelines for drying times under different conditions.

Coating is cracking after application.

Ensure the application is not too thick. Apply thin, even coats, and allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Cracking can also result from extreme temperature fluctuations.

Product appears too thick to apply.

Ensure you are using the correct application tools. Do not dilute the product unless specifically stated by the manufacturer.
