What causes blister formations in coating?


Category: Using Exterior Paints

Blisters in any coating form as the result of isolated areas of poor/insufficient adhesion of the coating to the surface beneath. This phenomenon occurs especially in warm and sunny weather, and is often related to the expansion of air in the wood pores, the gassing of gums or resin, or the evaporation of trapped moisture, which pushes the coating film away, shortly after application.
