Description

Probable Cause

  • Insufficient drying time before pressing the newly painted surfaces of doors and windows together.

  • Lack of adequate ventilation will lengthen drying time.

  • The use of slow drying oil based paint

  • Excessive paint application

  • Recoating before first coat is dry

Solutions

  • Allow proper drying time per label directions

  • Free windows and doors from sticking before painting

  • Door and window jams should be properly adjusted for free and smooth operation

  • Persistent blocking or sticking can be relieved with talcum powder

Primers & Interior Finishes

  • Priming is essential for stronger adhesion, sheen uniformity, mildew control, and durability
