Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure you stir the product thoroughly before and during application. Apply evenly, avoiding over-brushing or over-spraying in one area. For very porous wood, a second coat may be necessary once the first is dry.
Color appears different than expected
Wood type and previous treatments can affect the final color. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first and allow it to dry completely to ensure you are happy with the shade before applying to the entire surface.
Product not drying within stated time
Drying times can be affected by high humidity, low temperatures, or applying the product too thickly. Ensure good ventilation, apply in suitable weather conditions, and apply in thinner, even coats.
