Painting Problems and Solutions
What is it?
- Loss of adhesion of an Alkyd solvent based topcoat from a water based primer after approximately 7 days of drying.
Possible Causes
- The hydrophobic alkyd solvent based topcoat initially does not adhere that well to the hydrophilic water based primer, and it basically sits on the primer surface. When the alkyd paint start to cure and harden a tension is created in the film which pulls the alkyd (water hating) topcoat away from the (water loving) primer
How Can I Fix This Problem
- Preferably water based primers should be used with water based topcoats and similarly for solvent based systems.
- Remove loose and flaking paint and recoat with appropriate top coat.
