Sikkens: the right color

Symptoms

The dry film has a soft and weak
character.

Cause

  • Paint applied too thickly
  • Painted during impossible
    working conditions
  • With two-component
    products the wrong mixing
    ratio is used

Solution

Paint layers that are not sound should be completely removed. Apply a suitable protection system and allow a longer drying time to improve the conditions under which it is painted.
