Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to spread
Stir the paint thoroughly. If needed, add a tiny amount of water (a teaspoon per 500ml) to thin, but avoid over-dilution.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. Work with the grain and avoid overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint is not adhering well
Check that the surface was properly cleaned and degreased. Lightly sand any glossy or slick surfaces before applying paint. Ensure no primer or top coat was used, as this product is self-priming and self-sealing.
Scuff marks appear shortly after painting
The paint may not have fully cured. Allow several days for the finish to harden completely before subjecting it to heavy use or cleaning.
