Moisture blistering.

 

Definition

  • Small raised pimples appearing in the paint film.

Cause

  • Moisture absorbed by the substrate.
  • Insufficient substrate drying after wet sanding (particularly a problem with polyester products).
  • Condensation due to temperature fluctuations. 
  • Polyester products not isolated.
  • Damp compressed air.

Prevention

  • Dry-sand and isolate polyester products.
  • Ensure that the supplied compressed air is clean.

Remedy

  • Sand down the affected area completely, matt-sand the unaffected remaining surface, clean with silicone remover, apply surfacer and then respray.
