Troubleshooting

Paint not covering imperfections well

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and dry. Apply a second coat if necessary. For very porous surfaces, consider a thinned first coat as a sealer.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir the paint thoroughly. Avoid applying too thickly. Use a good quality brush or roller appropriate for emulsion paint. Ensure consistent application technique.

Drying time is longer than expected

Drying times are dependent on ambient temperature and humidity. Ensure good ventilation in the room. Avoid painting in very cold or damp conditions.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir the paint vigorously. If necessary for spray application, thin with a small amount of clean water as per guidelines. Do not over-thin for brush or roller application.
