Bubbles

(On open pore wood)

 

 

CAUSE

REMEDY
A Air, gas or vapor is entrapped in the pores of open-grain wood (oak) and the finish dries before bubbles can dissipate. Apply a thin, wash coat of sealer (5 to 1 reduction) as a first coat. Bubbling is a difficult problem that seems to be related to the quality of the wood used and its occurrence is very spotty. A retarder (slower solvent) can also be used to slow the drying. Bubbles can be caused by air leakage in a gun or a hose.
