How should I store leftover paint?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and primed if necessary). Lightly sand the surface for better adhesion.

Paint finish is not smooth.

Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller. Apply an even coat of paint and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Allow the paint to dry completely before applying a second coat.

The paint is taking longer than expected to dry.

Ensure the room temperature is above 10°C and that there is adequate ventilation. High humidity can also slow drying times.

Poor coverage after two coats.

Ensure thorough stirring. Ensure that you're applying an even coat. Consider using a primer if painting over a dark colour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, and dirt. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For best results, lightly sand the surface before painting.
Priming: On new or bare surfaces, apply a suitable primer before applying the eggshell paint. This improves adhesion and ensures a uniform finish.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats of Armstead Trade Durable Acrylic Eggshell, allowing 4-6 hours of drying time between coats.
Application Method: Apply with a brush, roller, or spray for a smooth finish. For best results, use a high-quality brush or roller.
Thinning: Thinning is not required for normal use. If needed for spraying, add up to 1 part of clean water to 5 parts of paint.
Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.

Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most interior surfaces, including wood, plaster, and masonry. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.
