Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the product is thoroughly stirred. Apply thin, even coats using a good quality synthetic brush, maintaining a wet edge to avoid overlap marks. Work in manageable sections.
Poor adhesion or peeling after application
Verify the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from contaminants). Ensure the product was applied to a compatible substrate and that recoating times were adhered to. Check for excessive moisture on the surface before application.
Product is too thick to apply smoothly
Ensure the product has been thoroughly stirred. In cooler temperatures, slightly warming the container may help. Avoid adding water unless explicitly recommended by the manufacturer for specific conditions, as it can affect performance.
Color does not match expectations
Confirm the correct product and color code were purchased. Always perform a test patch in an inconspicuous area, especially when covering a significantly different existing color. Ensure adequate coats have been applied as per instructions.
