Troubleshooting
Streaky or uneven finish
Ensure the scumble is mixed thoroughly with the paint. Apply evenly and consistently, working in manageable sections. Wipe or blend excess material before it dries if necessary.

Ensure the surface is completely dry before application and that the ambient temperature and humidity are within recommended ranges for painting. Avoid applying too thick a coat.
Varnish not adhering or peeling

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared before application. Mix the scumble thoroughly with your chosen satin or matt emulsion/latex paint. Apply the mixture using a brush, roller, or cloth according to your desired effect. Allow the applied scumble to dry for a minimum of 48 hours before applying a protective topcoat like Polyvine Decorators Varnish.
Compatibility: This scumble is designed for use with satin or matt emulsion/latex paints. It is not recommended for use with gloss paints or other paint types without prior testing on an inconspicuous area. Always ensure compatibility with your base paint.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. Once the scumble and protective varnish are fully cured, surfaces can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which may damage the finish.
