Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or patchiness
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, is free from dust and debris, and that the paint was applied evenly with consistent technique. Stir paint thoroughly before and during application. Ensure adequate number of coats have been applied.
Paint not covering adequately
Verify surface is adequately sealed. If painting over a dark or vibrant colour, more coats may be required. Ensure the correct dilution is used for the application method, and that the paint is applied at the recommended coverage rate.
Drying time seems longer than expected
Drying times are dependent on ambient temperature and humidity. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and within the recommended temperature range (typically 10-25°C). Avoid applying paint in very humid or cold conditions.
Brush marks or roller marks visible
Ensure you are using appropriate tools for the paint and surface. Apply paint with smooth, even strokes. For rollers, use a consistent rolling technique. Avoid overworking the paint once it begins to set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry before application. New surfaces, in particular, must be fully dry. For old lead paints, consult the relevant safety data before preparation.
Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. For sealing new or bare surfaces, thin the paint with up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint. For normal use, add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint. Conventional spray applications may require thinning up to 1:2.5 (water:paint), and airless spray up to 1:5.
Coats: Apply a minimum of one coat and a maximum of two full coats for optimal results.
Drying: Allow 4 hours for drying. Recoat after a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Tool Cleaning: Remove excess paint from equipment immediately after use and clean with water.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, avoiding extremes of temperature and protecting from frost. Always ask your stockist about recycling options for empty containers and dispose of any leftover paint responsibly.
