Back
Causes
- Paint applied too thickly (more likely when using alkyd or oil-based paints).
- Painting during extremely hot weather or cool damp weather, which causes the paint film to dry faster on the surface than under the surface.
- Exposing uncured paint to high humidity levels.
- Applying top coat of paint to insufficiently cured primer.
- Painting over contaminated surface (e.g., dirt or wax).
Solutions
- Scrape or sand to remove wrinkled coating. If using a primer, allow it to dry completely before applying topcoat. Repaint (avoiding temperature/ humidity extremes), applying an even coat of top quality interior paint.
