Learn more about bubbles, microbubbles and blisters in this week’s #TuesdayTip ⬇️ Bubbles are visible and break the surface in the dried film. When the bubbles are very small and trapped beneath the coating’s surface, they are referred to as microfoam or microbubbles. Blisters are much larger. 🔹Possible causes: Too much coating has been applied; coating has become high in viscosity due to solvent loss or cool temperatures; too much air movement in the finish/drying area; ambient temperature is very hot; incorrect thinner used; leak in siphon hose/tube to a high pressure spray unit or veneer issues. 🔹Countermeasures: Follow wet mil recommendations on the Product Data Sheet. Use a wet mil gauge to measure the amount of product being applied. Reduce with recommended thinner to correct application viscosity listed on the Product Data Sheet. Warm the product to 78°F. Eliminate air movement. Move parts to an area with less air movement or flash off. Add recommended retarder to slow flash and dry times. Replace siphon tube/hose. Try applying a very light (1-1.5 mil) dust coat and let dry to touch and then apply a normal coat. ➡️ Find more wood finishing FAQ’s and troubleshooting tips: https://lnkd.in/gdEZMuZj #GeminiIndustries #GeminiCoatings #Coatings #WoodCoatings #WoodStain #PremiumWoodCoating #Woodworking #WoodFinish #CabinetRefinishing #Cabinetry #Technology #Woodworking #Millwork #Architecture #Tips #WoodFinishingTips

This week’s #TuesdayTip is all about fisheyes. Fisheyes are craters that can occur when the coating is not able to wet the substrate completely, often due to contamination. 🔹Possible causes: The surface may be contaminated by silicone, overspray dust, grease or water; the air supply to the air gun or to-clean parts may be contaminated by oil, water, etc. or airborne contaminants such as aerosol saw blade lubricants, waxes or cleaning supplies.  🔹Countermeasures: Make sure the surface is free of contaminants. Make sure any compressors supplying air are drained regularly and make sure good quality air regulators and filters are installed in the air line. Avoid using lotions, aerosol products or consuming greasy foods in or near the finish room. ➡️ Find more wood finishing FAQ’s and troubleshooting tips: https://lnkd.in/gdEZMuZj #GeminiIndustries #GeminiCoatings #Coatings #WoodCoatings #WoodStain #PremiumWoodCoating #Woodworking #WoodFinish #CabinetRefinishing #Cabinetry #Technology #Woodworking #Millwork #Architecture #Tips #WoodFinishingTips
