WRINKLING
A rough, crinkled paint surface, which occurs when uncured paint forms a
"skin."
- Paint applied too thickly (more likely when using alkyd or oil-based paints).
- Painting during extremely hot weather or cool damp weather, which causes the paint film
to dry faster on top than on the bottom.
- Exposing uncured paint to high humidity levels.
- Applying top coat of paint to insufficiently cured primer.
- Painting over contaminated surface (e.g., dirt or wax).
Scrape or sand substrate to remove wrinkled coating. If using a primer, allow it to dry
completely before applying top coat. Repaint (avoiding temperature and humidity extremes),
applying an even coat of top quality interior paint.
