DESCRIPTION

Loss of adhesion of a coating to the substrate (e.g. the surface that was painted) or an earlier coating. Where there is a primer and topcoat or multiple coats of paint, peeling may involve some or all of the coats.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Seepage of moisture through uncaulked joints or worn caulk.
   

• Leaks in roof or walls, or excess moisture escaping through the walls from the interior.
   

• Painting over a dirty, wet, or glossy surface.
   

• Painting over a coating that already has marginal adhesion.

SOLUTION

See Lead Information.
       

• Remove old, loose, cracked caulk; prime as needed; and caulk with the appropriate product.
   

• Find and repair any source of water.
   

• Follow label and data page directions for proper surface preparation methods for the coating.
   

• Test the coating in a 6" to 12" radius around any peeled areas to be sure its adhesion is adequate.
