Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick for application
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a small amount of clean water (less than 5%) can be added, but avoid over-thinning.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure paint is applied evenly with consistent brush strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Apply a second coat if needed once the first is dry.
Poor coverage on the first coat
This is normal for some colours. Apply a second coat after the first has dried completely to achieve a uniform finish.
Paint not drying properly
Ensure application is in a well-ventilated area with appropriate temperature (typically above 10°C). Thick application or high humidity can slow drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Apply a suitable primer if necessary, especially on new or previously painted surfaces. Stir the paint thoroughly before application.
Compatibility: This water-borne acrylic emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is suitable for use over existing emulsion paints after proper preparation. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if applying over a different type of finish.
