Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly or is flaking off.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from grease, dust, or loose paint before application. Glossy surfaces should be lightly sanded to create a key.

The finish appears uneven or patchy after two coats.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and periodically during application. Apply an even layer, avoiding over-brushing or applying too thickly in one area. Check that the recommended drying time of 6 hours was observed between coats.

Mould is reappearing on painted surfaces.

While the paint contains fungicides, persistent mould can be an issue. Ensure the surface was completely free of mould before painting. For stubborn mould, a pre-treatment with a fungicidal wash might be necessary. Also, ensure the area has good ventilation and drainage to prevent future mould growth.

Paint takes longer than 6 hours to dry.

Drying times can be affected by environmental factors. High humidity, low temperatures, or poor ventilation can extend drying times. Ensure you are painting in suitable weather conditions and that coats are not applied too thickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation (Setup)

Proper preparation is crucial for achieving a long-lasting and beautiful finish.

  1. Clean: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and loose or flaking paint.
  2. Sand: Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a 'key' for the paint to adhere to. Remove any sanding dust.
  3. Repair: Fill any cracks or imperfections with an appropriate exterior filler and sand smooth.
  4. Prime (Optional): While Weathershield is designed for excellent adhesion, a suitable primer may be beneficial for very porous or untreated surfaces, or if you are making a significant colour change.

Compatibility

This paint is specifically formulated for exterior metal and wood surfaces. It is not intended for interior use or other material types.

Application

  • Stir: Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure an even consistency and colour.
  • Apply: Use a brush to apply an even layer. Avoid over-brushing.
  • Coats: Apply two coats for the best results, allowing 6 hours drying time between coats.

Tool Care
