Troubleshooting
Uneven colour or patchy finish
Ensure the wood surface is clean and dry (or evenly damp, not dripping wet) before application. Stir the product thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly with a brush or spray, ensuring consistent coverage and avoiding over-application in one area. Two coats are recommended for an even finish.
Product not drying within four hours
Check the weather conditions. High humidity, low temperatures, or insufficient ventilation can extend drying times. Ensure coats are applied thinly and evenly. Thick coats will take longer to dry. Allow more time if conditions are not ideal.
Product peeling or flaking after application
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure all loose dirt, old flaking paint, or unsound previous treatments are removed before application. The surface must be clean and firm. Apply only to wood, not other surfaces that might cause adhesion issues.
