| Sagging: Downward "drooping" movement of
the paint film immediately after application, resulting in an uneven coating.
Possible Cause:
Application of a heavy coat of paint.
Application in excessively humid and/or cool conditions.
Application of overthinned paint.
Airless spraying with the gun too close to the substrate being painted.
Solution: If paint is still wet, immediately brush our or reroll to
redistribute the excess evenly. If the paint has dried, sand and reapply a new
coat of top quality paint. Correct any unfavorable conditions: Do not thin the
paint; avoid cool or humid conditions; sand glossy surfaces. Paint should be
applied at its recommended spread rate; avoid "heaping on" the paint.
Two coats of paint at the recommended spread rate are better than over heavy
coat, which can also lead to sagging. Consider removing doors to paint them
supported horizontally.
