","text":"What are the most common causes of paint blistering? Blistering happens when a top surface of paint film dries too quickly. If you've ever seen water drop on a piece of paper that's up against a window, then evaporate almost immediately once it hits the paper, what you're seeing is similar to blistered paint.\r\rThe surface of the paint is actually drying faster than the underlying surface causing air bubbles to get trapped inside and push up from beneath until they get broken open at the surface, which causes the paint to bubble, creating blemishes or ripples in your coat of paint. If there are temperature changes, this can cause more rapid evaporation from the exterior paint towards the interior. It becomes slower and stagnant resulting in a reduced drying time on some parts while others are not dry completely.\r\rIf you have paint with a lot of additives to keep it from drying rapidly, the outermost layer of paint dries in a way that creates air bubbles which in turn lead to blistering. You can identify this by looking for other symptoms in your paint, such as oily texture and dullness, after trying out some cleaning techniques on them without any success.\r\rOther causes of paint bubbling include improper surface preparation like painting on a dirty or hot surface/wall. Paint bubbles also occur when painting a surface with high humidity or excessive moisture. Also, improperly applying oil-based (alkyd paint) after applying water-based paints will cause bubbling paint, for instance, using a latex primer to prepare a surface to be painted with oil-based paint.\r\rThere is no easy answer when it comes to why paint blisters because there are many different factors that contribute to it happening or not happening at all, even if you were to be using the same brand of paint.

","text":"Different paints have different ingredients, which can cause them to 'bubble' when they cure. The main ingredient in most primers and paints is resin, which comes from sap extracted from pine and fir trees or petroleum products such as crude oil and coal tar. The resin creates a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air when it dries after being mixed with solvents such as mineral spirits, hexane, xylene, or ethanol. This chemical reaction is called an oxidation reaction. When these two chemicals clash together during this process, heat is released, which may cause bubbles to form in your dried paint.\r\rMany of the solvents used to thin and dilute paint are themselves organic compounds that can cause blistering in paints mixed with them when they evaporate from the surface at a faster rate than the rest of the painting sitting below, creating a chemical reaction that causes bubbles in paints.

It takes longer for acrylics, oil paints and enamel paints. If it's drying too quickly, you can add Floetrol to slow down the evaporation process.

Just set the heat on the lowest setting and hold it about an inch over the surface of your paint. If you're using a hairdryer, hold it in one spot until the blister pops, then move to another area. When using a heat gun, move it constantly, or you'll burn your paint.\r\rSome paint blisters may require a more elaborate paint job to fix. Ensure you wear the correct personal safety gear like dust masks and protective gloves for such paint jobs. Make sure nay paint you use doesn't contain any traces of lead.

If you're considering painters or fence painting services to paint your rail for you, there are two types of pricing structures that they use:\r\rA labour charge plus the cost of materials on the wood fence.

You should consider these steps:\r\rRemove any existing loose paint and dirt from the surface using a wire brush to remove peeling paint and flaking rust before you paint a fence. If you're trying to strip old paint, use a two-step process: first by applying a heavy-duty or professional stripper and then caustic soda (sodium hydroxide). Prior to application, protect plants and grass near the fence with polythene sheeting since they can be killed if exposed to direct contact with chemicals with more paint.\r\rFill cracks in wood caused by termites or rot using a wood filler.\r\rSand any rough areas on the fence or any patches of previously painted surfaces using a masonry hand pad prior to painting it. This will help the new paint adhere better and last longer.\r\rUse a power washer if there is heavy dust build-up on the fence but only use one that's compatible with your fence type (wood, metal or vinyl).
