Painting Problems and Solutions

What is it?
  • Downward movement of a paint film during application and setting, resulting in an uneven film having a thicker lower edge. In this example rough scratch plaster hollows trap more paint and result in runs.
Possible Causes
  • Too thickly applied coat due to incorrect roller cover or technique.
  • Paint with poor flow properties
  • Incorrectly thinned paint
  • Painting in too cold or humid conditions
  • Spraying to close to the surface.
How Can I Fix This Problem
  • If still wet; brush or roll out to level.
  • Dried paint needs to be sanded level and repainted. Make sure that the paint and application technique match the original.
  • Don’t paint in excessively cold or humid conditions.
  • Do not overload brush or roller with paint
