How do I clean my tools after use?

Do I need to prime the surface?

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the masonry surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Check that a suitable primer was used on bare or porous surfaces.
Mould is still growing on the surface
While the fungicide inhibits growth, heavy contamination may require thorough cleaning and treatment with a dedicated fungicidal wash before repainting. Ensure good ventilation around the property.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for masonry paints.
Paint is not shower resistant after 30 minutes
This can occur in very high humidity or low temperatures. Allow longer drying time in such conditions. Ensure correct application thickness is maintained.
