Paint Skinning problems

Paint Skinning problems Drying and oxidation of the liquid surface of a paint, particularly in reference to synthetics, forming a soft and slimy or dry and tough
film at the surface. To repair Carefully remove all skin formation before stirring or shaking material. Failure to do this may result in bitty or seedy finish. If skin is excessively thick, material should be discarded and not used.

Cause

• Storing of synthetics in a container which is not closed airtight.
• Opening and reclosing containers of synthetics a number of times.

Prevention
1 Keep containers tightly sealed.
2 Do not save small amounts of synthetics
