Troubleshooting
Paint not drying within 6 hours.
Ensure ambient temperature is suitable (not too cold) and humidity is low. Good ventilation in the area will also significantly aid the drying process.
Uneven finish or visible brush marks.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and smooth before painting. Use a good quality brush and apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking the paint once applied. Do not apply too thickly.
Poor adhesion or flaking after drying.
Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose material or grease prior to painting. For glossy or challenging surfaces, light sanding or an appropriate primer may be necessary to improve adhesion.
Coverage is less than expected.
Ensure you are applying the paint evenly and not too thinly. The stated coverage is an average; highly absorbent or very textured surfaces may require more paint per square meter.
