Im painting my room and when i finsih a wall, i notice that air bubbles appear. why is that?
Question:am i using too much paint, am i going too fast, is it the paint im using or the brush im using and how do i avoid and get rid of these bubbles?
Answers:
Are you trapping air bubbles (maybe by swishing or stirring too much) in the brush from the can? Or using strokes too fast?
Yikes...
your using hot paint
spread your paint out evenly.
.....HIRE A PROFESSIONAL......
bcz u should hire a professional to do it
you are probably going to fast.But there is a tool you can buy to fix that problem though.Go to a paint store
its because theres a certain painting technique that should be used to prevent that ;/ but its alright try to paint it again after it is dry and hopefully they ll disappear.
good luck
you dont have to hire a professional.. dont use so much paint.. one thin layer at a time and you dont have to go slow, but go at a pace you are comfortable with..just dont rush it
paint slowly and stroke the brush in one direction. also, don't over use paint. what's the point of that. use paint sparingly
To humid in the room
what kind of paint are you useing?
You are probably putting too much paint on the roller. In my experience, putting too much paint on the roller causes the air bubbles. Try rolling the roller in the paint and then a couple of times on the high end of the paint tray to knock off the excess.
Another problem could be that your roller is the wrong roller for the type of wall you are painting. If the nap is too deep on the roller it is used for textured walls and not flat surfaces. You need a shorter nap on your roller for flat surfaces.
Hope that helps. Enjoy your day and happy painting!
You're using waterbase and you went too fast
Assuming you are using a water based paint (Called emulsion in UK) and you are using a roller to put it on the wall.
The bubbles are caused by rolling too fast. Brush them over with a large paint brush. This gets rid of the stippled effect of a roller too - which some folk don't like.
There is a slim chance that a chemical reaction is happening but unlikely...
We need more information really, put it at the bottom of your question using the edit tool.
What paint are you using?
What's on the walls - wallpaper or bare plaster or previous paint?
What are the walls made of?
Rolling or Brushing?
Which room is it?
It doesn't have anything to do with technique or speed. The paint you have on is incompatible with the surface on which you are painting.
Did you prepare the wall first? Did you find out what it was painted with before you bought the paint you have now?
If you put the wrong kind of paint over old paint, you could ruin the wall. Bubbling can indicate that in the future..near future, the new paint is going to peel off, because it isn't adhering to the surface.
Stop painting and consult an "expert".
You need to find out what the old paint base was...acrylic, etc., then get materials to prepare the wall. Prepare it as instructed, then make sure the paint you have is of a base that will work with the newly prepared surface. If not, return it and get the right paint.
Painting new wood is one thing...painting over existing paint can be a problem if you don't know what you're doing.
This is a common occurence actually, You just have to pop the bubbles...Check out my answers on my profile to a question that I answered a month ago and I still have the guy writing me back thanking me for all my help. It is titled "sheetrock bubbles". In that answer it will tell you how to aviod and fix them without any problems...
brush may have soap from previous paint job and still remaining residue from soap forms bubbles.
