Description

Description
A rough crinkled surface caused by a drying interference and forming a wrinkled skin

 

Probable Cause

• Applying the paint too thickly

• Painting over an insufficiently cured primer

• Painting during extreme hot or cool/damp conditions will force the paint to skin rather than cure properly

 

Solutions

• The wrinkled layers must be totally removed by sanding/scraping

• Stubborn underneath layers may require liquid paint remover

• Bare areas need priming and adequate drying time

• Spread uniformly and avoid painting in hot direct sunlight or when the temperature is below 50 F

 

Primers & Interior Finishes

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

• Select a top quality California Paints interior paint in the color and sheen of your choice.
