Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff sand might be beneficial, though not strictly necessary.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush and employ a consistent application technique. Avoid overworking the paint.
Paint seems too thick
Stir the paint vigorously. If absolutely necessary, a very small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added to aid application, though this is rarely required for this formula.
Surface still feels tacky after drying
Ensure adequate ventilation and check ambient temperature and humidity, as these can affect drying times. Avoid applying thick coats. Allow more time for full curing.
