Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or coverage.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply an even coat, avoiding excessive paint build-up. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat. Stir paint well before use.

Color not as expected.

Ensure the correct product (Silver Birch) was used. The final color can be affected by the surface. Test in an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface. Apply multiple coats for a deeper color.

Paint not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Lightly sand the surface for better adhesion. Apply a primer if necessary for very smooth or non-porous surfaces.
