Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or "orange peel" effect.
Ensure proper spray technique, correct spray distance, and adequate atomization pressure. Check for blockages in the spray nozzle and adjust viscosity if necessary.
Coating not adhering properly.
Verify the substrate is adequately prepared (clean, dry, and free of grease/contaminants). Ensure the correct primer has been used for the specific substrate and application (e.g., EP primer for food-safe use).
Slow drying or curing.
Ensure application is within the recommended temperature range (around 20°C). Higher humidity or lower temperatures can significantly slow drying times. Ensure proper mixing ratios are followed.
Aerosol can not spraying.
Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before and during use. Ensure the nozzle is clear. If blockage persists, try clearing with a fine pin or replacing the nozzle.
