DESCRIPTION

Appearance of a darker/denser color or higher sheen where two layers overlap during paint application.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Failure to maintain a “wet edge” when painting. Essentially, some areas are receiving 2 coats.
• Painting on an unseal surface.
• Painting under high temperatures.
• SOLUTION
• Maintain a wet edge. When painting, apply paint in the unpainted area first and then back in to the wet paint surface. This technique will produce a smooth, uniform appearance. Work in natural break, such as a window, door, or corner.
• Prime the surface with the appropriate primer to prevent the paint from soaking in to the surface and drying too quickly.
• Follow label and data page directions for the appropriate environmental conditions.
• Being rolling at a corner near the ceiling and work down the wall in three-foot-square sections.
• Spreads the paint in an “N” pattern, starting rolling from a dry area into the wet area.
• Cross-roll to fill in the “N”.
• Finish with light, downwards, parallel strokes to uniform the finish.
