Bubbles in my Sealer
Oh no! What an issue to have. I must say I was confused as to why this was happening and I was getting so many asking for assistance with this issue. Brain work now necessary because it was not an something I had ever experienced.
Therefore, time to see if I could recreate the problem. I DID! At least I think I figured it out. I was asking everyone all the right questions I thought:
stirring, not shaking the primer
pouring into clean paint tray
even, reasonable coat of sealer on paint pad
not applying too much pressure when covering the board
applying a light coat
Yep - all of you were doing this. But I did video an application and found what I feel is the issue. Are you lifting your pad off the board at any point? Not making one single swipe or stroke across the board ...... and off the board.
I found that anytime I lifted the pad from the board, I got air bubbles. The video was a quick unprepared visual of what I did and what happened. I am sorry it is not one of my better ones (if I have a good one) but it was a quick thought and a one handed job.
But bare with it and you can see what I am referring to and hopefully this will help you out. Another learning experience for myself to share.
Carry on the Addiction!
