| Wrinkling: A rough, crinkled paint surface, which
occurs when uncured paint forms a "skin".
Possible Cause:
Paint applied too thickly (more likely when using alkyd or
oil-based paints). Painting during extremely hot weather or cool damp weather,
which causes the paint film to dry faster on top than on the bottom. Exposing
uncured paint to high humidity levels. Applying top coat of paint to
insufficiently cured primer. Painting over contaminated surface (e.g., dirt or
wax).
Solution: Scrape or sand substrate to remove wrinkled coating. If
using a primer, allow it to dry completely before applying top coat. Repaint
(avoiding temperature/humidity extremes), applying an even coat of top quality
interior paint.
