BLISTER REPAIR
..............................................................................................................


Blistering is caused by vapor that expands between the surface and the paint film and fairing.

Sometimes, excessive moisture saturates wood or corrosion on it due to humidity, construction defects, or lack of effective vapor barriers.
As this moisture evaporates, lower humidity and high temperature generate pressure within the wood and on the coating. 

Fresh blister fills with water and as the surface dries, water evaporates but the paint film does not recover.

Solvent-based coatings are most susceptible to blistering.  A common cause of blistering is solvent entrapment, or painting with solvent-based coatings in direct sunlight on a too-warm surface. 

Due to their higher absorption of heat, darker colors tend to blister more that light ones.
Thicker application or re-coating prior to complete cure of a previous coat can also cause blistering. 

Under this condition, the paint surface dries before all the solvent is released from the underlying film.
In order to repair the surface, sand and grind blistering paint, prime exposed areas and repaint.
