CAUSE
|
REMEDY |
| A |
Over reduction. |
Add fresh unreduced material to that which has
been reduced. |
| B |
Application on very hot or smooth surface which
tends to cause film to flow off. |
Use a faster evaporating solvent. Sand surface to
be finished with 120 grit sandpaper. |
| C |
Pigment not properly stirred into suspension. |
Stir thoroughly to properly distribute pigment. |
| D |
Slow evaporating solvent causing too much flow. |
Use faster evaporating solvent. |
| E |
Improper atomization. |
Adjust spray equipment. |
| F |
Low film thickness. |
Apply more paint via more passes with spray gun,
higher solids (less reduction), or faster thinner. |
| G |
Edges show through. |
If edges are too sharp before finishing, sand
white wood edges with 120 grit sandpaper first then smooth with finer
grit paper. |
| H |
Wood sanded too smooth. |
Always pre-sand wood with 120-140 grit paper. |
