Troubleshooting
The finish looks uneven or patchy.
Ensure your Craig & Rose Chalky Emulsion base coat was thoroughly dry (at least 4 hours) before application. Also, try to maintain a consistent application method and pressure across the surface.
The color appears too opaque, not translucent enough.
This paint is designed for a single-coat application to achieve its translucent effect. Applying more than one coat can reduce its intended wash-like quality. Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer.
Not achieving the desired 'burnished' or 'deep mustard' effect.
The final effect is heavily influenced by the color of your Craig & Rose Chalky Emulsion base coat. Experiment with different base colors on a test patch to see how they interact with the Yellow Chalk Wash to achieve your preferred depth and tone.
