Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and free from any oils, waxes, or residues. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff sand may improve adhesion.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure you are using a good quality brush suitable for water-based paints and allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint seems too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If the ambient temperature is very low, consider painting in a slightly warmer environment. Thinning is generally not recommended, but if absolutely necessary, a very small amount of water can be added.
