When rolling use only a high-quality short nap (maximum 3\/16” nap) roller cover. Apply using thin coats; over-application of this product will virtually assure inadequate coating performance. For the smoothest possible finish: Thin the paint approximately 5-10% with clean fresh water. Wet the surface to be painted thoroughly with clean fresh water as well. This will provide a truer color and smoother finish. Slight variations in color and surface texture are not uncommon and should not be looked at with dismay. The surface will quickly smooth itself once in the water and any mottling of the color will diminish as well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003ePettit Neptune HRT contains cuprous oxide. As a result, there is a tendency for settling to occur, especially if the paint has been on the shelf for several months.
