Troubleshooting
The chalk wash effect is not visible or too subtle.
This paint is designed to be translucent. Ensure you are applying it over a Craig & Rose Chalky Emulsion base coat. If using a similar shade for the base, the effect will be more understated. For a more vivid texture, choose a complimentary neutral or contrasting color for your base. Also, avoid applying more than one coat, as this can lessen the translucent effect.
The finish appears uneven or streaky.
The Chalk Wash effect relies on specific application techniques (sponging, rag-rolling, brushing). It is crucial to practice your chosen method on a test card first to achieve consistency. Ensure the base coat is completely dry (at least 4 hours) before application, as this can affect adhesion and appearance.
Paint is not adhering properly to the wall.
Verify that the base coat is Craig & Rose Chalky Emulsion and that it has dried for the recommended 4 hours. The surface should also be clean, dry, and free from any dust, grease, or loose particles that could impede adhesion.
