JAKARTA - Bubbled wall paint can damage the appearance of the house, making it look dull and dirty. Even though the bulky paint is stressful on the wall that hasn't been painted for a long time, it will be even more annoying if the wall you just paint starts to bubble and melt. In addition, the paint that balloon can even indicate something is wrong with the home environment.
Below, there are eight reasons why paint can bubble on the wall. Plus the tips to fix it and make sure the paint is properly attached at another time reported by The Spruce, Thursday, September 12.
Either repainting the walls or painting new, you have to clean the walls so that the paint can stick properly. Dust and dirt that coat the walls act as barriers that separate paint from the walls. While it may look good as soon as it is painted, the paint will soon be damaged and begin to bubble.
For that, clean the walls thoroughly before painting. Clean the dust and dry dirt with a dust suction and rub all the dirt with a towel or wet sponge.
Painting a wet wall inhibits the ability of paint to stick to the wall as well as damages paint during the drying phase. So, it's best to dry the wall before painting. Wet walls won't absorb paint, so you have to dry it thoroughly. Clean the remaining water with a dry towel and let the wall dry up by itself.
Various types of paint work better on different surfaces. Although there are some similarities, the best results are obtained from choosing the right type of paint for the surface of your wall. The solution, select the right paint for the surface. Select paint based on the surface to be painted. If in doubt, consult with a paint expert when buying paint to get a guide.
Do you want to repaint the wall? Make sure to select the right new paint to cover the old paint. Repainting the old paint with different types of paint can cause the paint not to stick, so it can bubble and peel off in the future. For example, using oil-based or alkyd-based paint on latex paint will not work and the paint will be damaged.
If possible, use the same type of paint as the one you will repaint. When changing the type of paint, it is generally recommended to prepare the surface and apply basic paint to improve the quality of the fracture power.
Even something as simple as mixing paint too fast can cause paint to bubble on the wall. If your wall has a small bubble in paint, it may be caused by too much air entering during the process of complaining. Mix paint slowly using a wooden complainant. It's better to mix it slowly than to cause a bubble of air due to too fast mixing.
Even high-quality paints can bubble if the walls are exposed to excess heat. This extreme heat can be caused by equipment, very hot weather, direct sunlight exposure for a long time, and other sources. Even if you repair and repaint the walls, the paint will eventually balloon again unless you remove the excess heat source. Get rid of the fire and hot equipment from the painted surface. If possible, avoid direct sunlight for a long time or select UV-resistant paint.
Some surfaces must be covered with primary before being painted. For example, if you paint raw wood, you have to coat the wood with a high-quality primary such as an alkyd-based primary. Skipping primary coating and painting plain wood will result in bad fracture and eventually ballooning.
Use a binding primary to increase the fracture power of paints. Many surfaces such as plain wood, new drywalls, and wall textures must be specially covered with a primary to increase the fracture power of paints.

Although you paint according to the instructions for using the temperature and humidity provided by the manufacturer, immediately explain paint on moisture and excess heat before the paint dried up it could damage its reshuffle power.
This can be caused by turning off the AC unit when you leave the building, opening or closing the window after painting, or even changing the weather. So it's best to try to increase the ventilation. Don't turn off the air conditioner or fan just because you've finished painting. On the other hand, keep it on for a few days later so that the paint is completely dry without exposure to excess moisture.
