RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS

  • Apply paint in thin, even coats — don’t overload your brush or roller
  • Let each coat dry fully before applying the next

  • Maintain proper temperature and airflow in the room to support drying and leveling

RECOMMENDED APPLICATORS

Roller:
• Use a 3/8” nap high-quality woven roller for smooth walls

Brush:
• Use a soft, angled, synthetic brush for smooth, controlled application — ideal for trim and cutting in
