APPLICATION TIPS
Less is more when it comes to how much paint to have on your tools.
Dip your brush into the paint a maximum of halfway up the bristles, remove excess paint so it is barely visible on the brush. Paint from one end to the other, avoid brushing back and forth too much as the paint will start to dry, as it dries your brush will create texture, aka brush marks on your surface.
Apply multiple thin coats to avoid brush strokes. Brush or roll from one end to the other to avoid start and stop marks.
Add extender if your climate is dry as your paint may create texture during application. Extender allows for a longer working time before the paint dries.
LEADING CAUSE OF BRUSH STROKES
- Too much paint on your brush
- Incorrect brush (natural bristle leaves more texture)
- Brushing back and forth in the same spot – the paint starts to dry while your doing this which will create texture and brush strokes quickly
- Climate – if its too dry, add extender to the paint for longer open working time
