Painting Problems and Solutions
What is it?
- Wrinkling of water based coating shortly after application in wet weather. Typical of more flexible sheen coatings. Coating can easily be removed due to a lack of adhesion.
Possible Causes
- Recently painted surfaces that have received moisture pressure from beneath the surface. The flexible partially cured paint film expands into blisters and then retracts after the water pressure has subsided. The partial contraction results in a wrinkled paint film.
How Can I Fix This Problem
- Remove loose and wrinkled paint.
- Remove all sources of moisture ingress.
- Insure that moisture barriers are in place at ground level, parapets, landings, window sills, etc.
- Allow substrate to dry thoroughly.
- Repaint under the correct weather conditions.
