Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Consider using a suitable primer for optimal adhesion.
Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.
Apply paint evenly with consistent strokes. Ensure adequate paint is loaded onto the brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.
Stains are difficult to wipe away.
For stubborn water-based stains, use a slightly more concentrated mild detergent solution. For oil-based or very old stains, pre-treatment or professional advice may be necessary.
