Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before painting. Glossy surfaces may need to be de-glossed or sanded. Use an appropriate primer if painting bare wood or metal.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid over-working the paint once applied.

Paint taking too long to dry

Ensure application is in a well-ventilated area with appropriate temperature and humidity levels. Avoid applying excessively thick coats.

Surface remains tacky after drying

This can occur if applied too thickly or in humid conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more drying time. If necessary, gently try to dry with a fan.
