  • What's going on with the crazing here? It's in a few spots on a couple of the doors I painted.

    It's acrilyic primer painted on sanded down and keyed old paint.

    Is that just the nature of the beast and it doesn't matter because I'll do another coat? Anything I should be worried about which I should take remedial action on?

    I went acrylic, because I need something hard wearing and one of the doors will be for a bathroom.

    Factors that may have influenced:

    • last coat going on late in the evening (a few weeks ago)
    • stored in an outdoor shed that would have probably got quite hot at times
    • possibly applied a bit thickly as I was rushing.

  • Probably a combination of paint too thick and surface not keyed entirely. Looks like you have some bleed through from knotting on the low right side of that photo. To avoid that you would need to use cover stain or b.i.n. Aqua from Zinnser (or similar from a different manufacturer). Cover Stain is oil based and B.I.N. Aqua is expensive though.
