Poor Flow & Levelling

Definition:

Failure of paint to dry to a smooth film, resulting in unsightly brush and roller marks after the paint dries.

 
Cause:
  • Use of low quality paint
  • Use of low quality tools or wrong roller cover
  • Re-brushing or re-rolling areas that are partially dried
  • Too much heat
  • Use of paint not specifically made with good flow and levelling properties.

Prevention
  • Dilute paint with correct ratio.
  • Use the correct thinner to thin paint.
  • Choose the correct roller and brush.
  • Avoid painting under conditions that cause rapid drying of the paint.
Remedy
  • Use the proper thinner to dilute paint.
  • Use high-quality paint formulated with ingredients that enhance flow and levelling.
