Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface was sanded and cleaned thoroughly before application. Avoid applying in temperatures below 10°C.
Visible brush marks after drying
Use a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint. Consider using a foam roller for flatter surfaces to ensure a smooth finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a professional finish, follow these best practices:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the floor or woodwork is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose debris. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
- Application: Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller designed for water-based paints to achieve the smoothest finish.
- Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most interior wood, trim, and metal surfaces. Always perform a patch test if applying over old oil-based paints.
- Maintenance: Clean spills immediately with a soft cloth. For routine cleaning, use a damp, lint-free cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may dull the satin sheen.
