Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free of grease, dust, or wax before application. For laminate surfaces, a light sanding might improve adhesion if issues persist.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Ensure you are using a good quality brush suitable for water-based paints. Avoid overworking the paint and allow proper drying time between coats.
Coverage seems lower than expected
Remember that two coats are recommended for durability. The stated coverage of 7m² is for a single coat; two coats will cover approximately 3.5m².
Paint feels tacky after drying
Ensure adequate ventilation during drying. In humid conditions or if applied too thickly, paint may take longer to cure. Allow more drying time, potentially in a well-ventilated area.
