Alligatoring

 

Appearance of a pattern of cracks and breaks on the surface of the coating

Reasons:

  • A particularly hard paint was used over an elastic paint
  • More or less solvent than recommended was used or the coating thickness was too thick
  • The previous coating had not dried when the final surface was applied
  • The surface preparation was not correct

Solution:

  • Remove the paint completely by scrubbing the surface.
  • Clean the surface thoroughly and then apply a coat of primer.
  • After drying, apply the ERLAC’s final coating
