| Over Catalyzing the Paint |
• Check the measurement of catalyst used. • Shorter pot life is a good indicator. |
| Baking of paint at higher temperature | Check the recommendations published by the manufacturer. |
| Paint not formulated for wood |
• Check for paints exclusive for wooden surfaces. • Paints for metal surfaces are harder but they lack elasticity properties found in the wood paints. |
