Flow and Leveling: Ropes, Pulls, Lap Marks and Stipple    << Back Description: Uneven marks or undesirable patterns from the brush or roller appear on dry paint. Cause: Improper paint consistency. There was too little material applied to the surface. Improper painting technique. Poor quality brushes or rollers were used. The substrate was too hot. The coating was too cold. There was insufficient drying time between coats. There was a contamination of the surface. Prevention: Make sure to apply full coat at correct coverage. Air, substrate, and paint temperature should be between 50F and 90F unless otherwise stated. Be sure to use a primer/sealer when necessary and allow adequate cure time between coats. Properly agitate the coating before application. Use the recommended application technique. Cure: Allow to dry, sand smooth, and repaint.    Courtesy of The Rohm and Haas Paint Quality Institute Click on Image for Larger View
