Bubbles resulting from localized loss of
adhesion, and lifting of the paint film from
the underlying surface.
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
•
Applying oil-based or alkyd paint over a damp
or wet surface.
•
Moisture seeping into the home through the
exterior walls (less likely with latex paint).
•
Exposure of latex paint film to high humidity or
moisture shortly after paint has dried, especially
if there was inadequate surface preparation.
SOLUTION:
•
● If blisters do not go all the way down to the
substrate: We remove blisters by scraping, and
sanding, and repaint with a quality acrylic latex
interior paint. If blisters go down to the
substrate: We remove the source of moisture, if
possible. Repair loose caulking; consider
installing vents or exhaust fans. Remove
blisters as above, remembering to prime before
applying the top coat.
