Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free from dust, grease, or existing flaking paint. For porous surfaces, ensure Pliocem Concrete Sealer was used prior to painting.
Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in even coats, avoiding over-application. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for masonry paint.
Paint is not drying as expected in damp conditions.
While the paint is tolerant, extreme dampness or cold can slow drying. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid application if temperatures are below the recommended minimum or if heavy condensation is present.
Color appears different after drying.
Color can sometimes appear slightly different when wet versus dry. Ensure a consistent application thickness and allow the paint to fully cure before assessing the final color.
