Causes of Paint Failures and Prevention Tips
Moisture buildup under paint causes blistering and peeling from interior vapor or roof leaks. Cross grain cracking results from frequent repainting or many paint layers. Lack of adhesion, glossy surfaces, or unsealed knots can cause peeling. mildew on undercoat signals dampness and obstructed sun. Use mildew resistant paint, clean mildewed areas with a trisodium phosphate solution, and improve ventilation, caulking, and gutters to prevent future failures.
