Problem: Bubbles resulting from localised loss of adhesion and lifting of paint film from the underlying surface.

Possible Causes: Painting a warm surface in direct sunlight. Application of oil-based or alkyd paint over a wet or damp surface. Moisture escaping through exterior walls.

Solution: If blisters go down to the substrate try to remove the source of moisture. If blisters do not go down to the substrate remove them by scraping and sanding. Prime any bare wood and repaint.
