Troubleshooting
Streaky finish after first coat
Ensure you are using a good quality roller and applying consistent pressure. A second coat is often required for a uniform appearance.
Paint takes longer than 2 hours to dry
High humidity or cool room temperatures can slow drying. Improve ventilation in the room by opening windows or using a fan.
Surface imperfections are very visible
Silk paint's sheen highlights bumps. Use filler to smooth out wall damage and sand the surface thoroughly before applying the paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your space, ensure all surfaces are dust-free and primed if painting over porous materials. This paint is compatible with most interior wall and ceiling substrates. When applying, use high-quality brushes for cutting in at the corners and a medium-pile roller for the main wall surfaces. Store your leftover paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from drying out. Clean your tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water to maintain their condition.
