POOR FLOW / LEVELLING

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

POSSIBLE CAUSES:

1. Use of lower quality paint

2. Application of additional paint to "touch up" partially dried painted areas.

3. Re-brushing or re-rolling partially dried painted areas.

4. Use of the wrong type of roller cover or poor quality brush.

SOLUTION:

Use top quality latex paints, which are generally formulated with ingredients that enhance paint flow. Brush and roller marks thus tend to "flow out" and form a smooth film. When using a roller, be sure to use a cover with the recommended nap length for the type of paint being used. Use of a high quality brush is important; a poor brush can result in bad flow and levelling with any paint.
