PREVENTION:

  • Allow all undercoats to fully cure before topcoating or blocking.
  • Avoid recoating over soft, undercured, or solvent-sensitive finishes.
  • Sand with the correct grit, progressing to finer papers.
  • Test questionable areas with a lacquer-thinner rag for sensitivity.
  • Use recommended primer/surfacer and sanding technique for smooth featheredges.

TO REPAIR:

  • Allow swollen/sunk area to cure thoroughly.
  • Re-prime and block sand for a uniform surface.
  • Repaint using full coverage and proper dry/cure between coats.
  • Sand smooth with progressively finer paper.
