How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying time depends on the surface and environmental conditions, but it typically dries to the touch within 30-60 minutes. Allow at least 1-2 hours for complete drying before applying another coat or handling the project.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thin or transparent.
Apply additional coats, allowing each coat to dry completely. A thicker application might be necessary depending on the surface.
Uneven finish or streaks appear.
Ensure the surface is smooth before painting. Use a high-quality brush or applicator. Apply in thin, even coats and avoid overbrushing.
Paint is not adhering properly.
Make sure the surface is clean and free of any oils or debris. Lightly sand glossy surfaces for better adhesion.
