DESCRIPTION

Appearance of a darker/denser color or higher sheen where two layers overlap during paint application.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Failure to maintain a "wet edge" when painting. Essentially, some areas are receiving 2 coats.
   

• Painting on an unsealed surface.
   

• Painting under high temperatures.

SOLUTION

See Lead Information.
         

• Maintain a wet edge. When painting, apply paint in the unpainted area first and then back into the wet paint surface. This technique will produce a smooth, uniform appearance. Work in manageable-size areas; plan for interruptions at a natural break, such as a window, door, or corner.
   

• Prime the surface with the appropriate primer to prevent the paint from soaking into the surface and drying too quickly.
   

• Follow label and data page directions for the appropriate environmental conditions.
   

• Begin rolling at a corner near the ceiling and work down the wall in three-foot-square sections.
   

• Spread the paint in an "N" pattern, starting rolling from a dry area into the wet area.
   

• Cross-roll to fill in the "N".
   

• Finish with light, downward, parallel strokes to uniform the finish.
