Make sure the Polycell Damp Seal is completely dry before painting over it. Ensure the surface is clean and primed, if necessary.
Runs or drips during application.
Apply the product in a single, even coat, avoiding excessive amounts. Ensure the surface is not saturated and use a brush or roller to smooth any runs.
