Brush or Roller Marks/ Poor Leveling
Failure of paint to dry to a smooth film, resulting in unsightly brush and roller marks after the paint dries
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
- Application of additional paint or rebrushing or re-rolling in areas where the paint has partially dried.
- "Working" (e.g. applying too rapidly or for too long) paint too much during application.
- Use of the wrong type or nap size of roller cover. Use of the wrong type or size of brush.
- Applying too thin of a paint film.
- Painting a hot surface or in direct sunlight.
- Coating a very porous surface.
SOLUTION:
- Allow the coating to dry thoroughly, then sand the coating smooth, and repaint.
- Wait until the paint has dried thoroughly before touching up.
- Apply the paint using good painting technique.
- Follow label and data page directions for the appropriate quality, applicator size, and type.
- Follow label and data page directions for the appropriate film build (e.g. thickness of each coating layer).
- Follow label and data page directions for the appropriate environmental conditions
- Prime or seal porous surfaces
PRODUCTS RECOMMENDED:
Brush and roller marks are an environmental or technique issue. Adjust technique or improve ambient conditions to ensure proper application
