Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks or uneven finish
Ensure the paint is stirred well before use. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing the self-levelling properties to work. Avoid overworking the paint as it dries.
Paint not adhering properly to the surface
Thoroughly clean the surface to remove all grease, dirt, and loose material. While self-priming, very slick or greasy surfaces may benefit from a light scuff sand and a thorough wipe down before painting.
Paint appears too thick for wall application
For painting interior walls, thin the paint with up to 10% tap water to achieve a more suitable consistency for broader coverage and easier application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or loose debris. A light sand may be beneficial for very glossy surfaces but is often not strictly necessary due to the self-priming nature.
- Stir Thoroughly: Before use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and distribution of the wax infusion.
- Application: Apply paint with a good quality brush or roller. The self-levelling properties help reduce brush marks. Apply in thin, even coats.
- Drying Time: Allow adequate drying time between coats. *Info needed: Specific drying time between coats and full cure time.*
Compatibility
- Surfaces: Suitable for interior wooden furniture, laminate, and metal. Can also be used on interior walls when thinned with up to 10% tap water.

Care
- Cleaning: Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.
- Maintenance: Once cured, the painted surface can be wiped clean with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying.
