FLASHING . . . uneven gloss with shiny or dull spots on painted surfaces.
FLASHING PROBABLE CAUSES . . . improper or no priming of porous surfaces or surfaces with non-uniform porosity. Poor painting techniques. Painting over fresh paint or primer before itís dry. Uneven film thickness causes poor sheen uniformity. Drying during excessive high/low temperatures.
FLASHING SOLUTIONS . . . always prime new work to make the surface have uniform porosity. Apply the finish coat after proper drying of primer. A new finish coat usually will make the sheen uniform. Always paint from wet to dry and maintain a wet edge to avoid lapping.
