Troubleshooting
Metallic effect is too subtle after one coat.
Apply additional thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications. A heavier metallic effect often requires multiple layers.
Uneven application or patchy finish.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and prepared properly. Stir the Frenshimmer thoroughly before and during use to keep pigments evenly suspended. Apply in thin, consistent layers, avoiding overloading your brush.
Difficulty cleaning brushes or tools.
As this is a water-based product, clean your brushes and tools immediately after use with warm water and a mild soap. Do not allow the product to dry on the tools.
