Causes:

  • Applying paint too thickly (beyond the recommended wet film thickness)
  • Paint buildup in corners or other areas where excess paint accumulates
  • Using low-viscosity or improperly stirred paint
  • Applying additional coats before previous layers are dry

RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS

  • Scrape and sand all areas with mud cracking until the surface is smooth before recoating.
  • Apply thin, even coats. If using a roller, roll out the paint fully and don’t let it pool or drip.
  • Avoid paint buildup in corners. Use a smaller brush in those areas and feather out the paint.
  • Always let each coat dry completely before applying another.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATORS

Roller:
• Use a 3/8” nap high-quality roller for most walls
• Avoid thick naps that hold too much paint

Brush:
• Use a high-quality, angled brush with a medium-sized head for trim and corners — don’t overload it
