Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Prime bare or new surfaces adequately. Check for incompatible previous coatings.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply in consistent strokes, maintaining a 'wet edge'. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for emulsion paints. Thinning may be necessary for spray application.
Stains are not completely removed by wiping
Wipe gently. Avoid excessive scrubbing which can polish the surface. For stubborn stains, a slightly damp, non-abrasive cloth may be used. Ensure recoating times are observed for best durability.
Drying time is excessive
This can be due to high humidity or low temperatures. Ensure adequate ventilation and maintain a consistent room temperature if possible.
