Foaming – Cratering
During the application of the paint, bubbles are created which burst when drying and leave small round craters.
Reasons:
- Excessive mixing of the paint
- Use of low quality paint
- Very fast application with the roller or brush
- Using very old paint
Solution:
- Do not use very old paints.
- When applying avoid strong and very fast application.
- If you notice the appearance of craters during painting, remove them while the surface is still wet.
- After drying, the repair requires removal of the paint and repainting.
- If applying gloss or satin paint to a porous surface, apply a suitable primer first and then apply the paint carefully.
Paint foaming during application is a common occurrence as it directly depends on the method of application, however ER-LAC’s high quality paints are properly formulated so that the bubbles break while the paint is still wet, leaving a smooth and even surface.
