Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush marks
Ensure proper thinning ratio and apply with even, consistent strokes. Use a high-quality brush suitable for the product.
Product not drying or curing properly
Verify correct mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner. Check ambient temperature and humidity; conditions may be too cold or humid. Ensure product has not expired.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure the substrate was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and free from rust or old coatings. Use an appropriate primer if required for the substrate type.
