Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free of grease. If painting over a very glossy surface, a light sanding may be needed before application.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush or roller and paint in consistent directions. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Paint seems too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick for your preferred application method, a very small amount of water can be added, but avoid over-thinning.
Durability issues on high-traffic areas
Ensure two full coats have been applied and allowed to cure properly. Allow at least 7 days for the paint to fully harden before subjecting it to heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or contaminants. For most surfaces, especially previously painted or varnished items, a light clean is sufficient. If painting over a very glossy or difficult surface, a light sand may improve adhesion, though it is not strictly required.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Two thin, even coats are recommended for best results and maximum durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer recommendations.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting boards, and doors. It can also be used on powder-coated radiators, metal, and various furniture types, including wood and laminate. It is EN71-3 certified for safety on children's toys.
Care: Clean up spills and brushes immediately with water. For maintenance of the painted surface, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to preserve the finish.
