Troubleshooting
Uneven application or patchiness.
Ensure the wood surface is clean and free of loose material. Stir the product thoroughly before and periodically during use to ensure even pigment distribution. Apply in thin, even coats, avoiding over-application in one area.
Product not rainproof after 1 hour.
Verify that the ambient temperature and humidity are within suitable ranges for drying. Ensure the wood surface was only damp, not excessively wet, prior to application. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity can extend drying times.
Poor coverage or running/dripping.
Ensure the wood surface is prepared and porous enough to absorb the product. If dripping occurs, you may be applying too thickly; try thinner coats. Note that coverage is approximate and can vary with wood type and condition.
Product not adhering properly or peeling.
Proper surface preparation is crucial. Ensure all loose, flaking, or peeling previous coatings are removed. The wood surface must be clean and structurally sound for optimal adhesion.
