Blistering (Solvent)


Causes

  1. Solvent being trapped within primer or topcoat during the drying process
  2. Insufficient flash-off between coats
  3. Insufficient flash-off before force drying / stoving

Prevention

  1. Do not under-thin materials, this can lead to blistering
  2. Allow primers and topcoats to flash-off (refer to technical data) before overcoating or force drying
  3. Do not use very fast thinners in warm conditions, as this leads to heavy applications technique. A slow thinner is advised

Rectification

The blistering should be flatted down to a sound surface and re-painted
