Poor Flow/Leveling
|
 |
Failure of paint to dry into a smooth film, resulting in unsightly brush and roller marks after the paint dries.
Possible Cause:
Use of lower quality paint.
Application of additional paint to "touchup" partially dried painted areas.
Re-brushing or re-rolling partially dried painted areas.
Use of the wrong type of roller cover or poor quality brush.
Solution:
Use top quality latex acrylic paints which are formulated with ingredients that enhance paint flow. Brush and roller marks thus tend to "flow out" and form a smooth film.
When using a roller, be sure to use a cover with the recommended nap length for the type of paint being used. Use of a high quality brush or roller is important; a poor brush or roller can result in bad flow and leveling with any paint.
