Troubleshooting
Primer not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared (sanded if necessary). Reapply after ensuring a clean, dust-free surface.
Slight streaking upon application
Ensure the primer is thoroughly stirred. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Use a high-quality brush or roller.
Extended drying time
Ensure application in a well-ventilated area with appropriate temperature and humidity levels. Avoid applying too thickly.
Bubbling or peeling after drying
This may indicate poor surface preparation or incompatible previous finishes. Ensure the surface was clean and dry, and that any previous coatings were suitable or removed.
