Crown Trade Protective Coatings High Build Rust Inhibiting Metal Primer/Undercoat has been developed for use as a spot primer to prepare failed, weathered cladding prior to painting with Fast Drying Cladding Finish. It is also recommended for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, providing an excellent foundation for the protection of interior and exterior metalwork, particularly structural steelwork.
Crown Trade Protective Coatings T-Wash is an etching wash for new bright unweathered, untreated galvanised surfaces. It creates a chemical reaction and causes the surface to turn black, which confirms that the surface has been degreased and etched. Treated surfaces are then ready for priming.

COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
86It’s not just paint.
87Customer Relations Team: 0330 0240297
COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Problem/Cause Solution
ALKALINE SUBSTRATESUnder damp conditions alkaline solutions can arise which can result in the decomposition of the paint finish (saponification).
Prime all bare interior surfaces with one coat of Crown Trade Alkali Resisting Sealer or for a water-based alternative, use Crown Trade PSB Stain Block Primer. Allow a minimum drying time of 16 hours in normal drying conditions.
BITTINESSContaminated paint, dusty atmosphere, substrate not clean, application tool not clean.
Rub down, recoat, ensure application tools are clean and strain the paint.
BLEEDING / STAINS Solvent or water-reactive stain causing discolouration of top coat - timber extractives, nicotine, tar or bitumen.
Remove as much contamination as possible, seal with Crown Trade Alkali Resisting Sealer or Crown Trade P.S.B. Stain Block Primer. For wood, use Crown Trade Aluminium Wood Primer.
BLOOMING, or milky appearance (usually gloss paint), also a slight matting of the gloss.Cold temperatures, high humidity, moisture, during the drying process of the paint. Usually associated with winter months.
Rub down and recoat. Ensure temperatures above 8°C and humidity is no greater than 80%.
BLISTERING / FLAKINGPoor adhesion can occur in damp / humid conditions.
Remove loose material and reapply ensuring that all coats are thoroughly cured before overcoating.
BRUSH MARKS Ensure paint is brushed out evenly, use cross brush strokes and always lay off lightly.
Problem/Cause Solution
CISSINGSeparation of paint film whilst wet – small ‘craters’ in paint film, caused by surface contamination, wax or grease. Sometimes occurs when applying water-based paint over poorly prepared surfaces.
Remove as much contamination as possible, degrease, rub down and recoat. Ensure application tool is also free from contamination. When using water-based gloss paints, ensure surface is abraded between coats.
CORROSION Coating failures / exposure to damp conditions. Water penetrating coating to metal.
Remove all loose defective coating. Feather edges with an abrasive paper. Remove dust. Wash with hot water and liquid detergent solution to remove contaminants. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow drying. Spot prime all bare metal with one coat of Crown Trade Universal Metal Primer.
CRACKING / CRAZINGUsually associated with applying a fairly brittle paint over a highly flexible layer, i.e. matt over silk.
Rub down, correctly prime, i.e. Crown Trade Alkali Resisting Sealer and recoat. For a water-based alternative, use P.S.B. Stain Block Primer or Grip Extreme Fast Drying Primer. Severe instances may require lining paper.
CURTAINS, RUNS, SAGGING, FLOTATION OF PIGMENTOver application, i.e. too much paint applied unevenly.
Allow excessively thick areas to harden, (sometimes scraping off excess thickness will be required), rub down and recoat.
88It’s not just paint.
89Customer Relations Team: 0330 0240297
COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Problem/Cause Solution
EFFLORESCENCESoluble salts within the substrate are brought to the surface during the drying out of residual moisture. Normally, efflorescence has the appearance of white fluffy crystals.
Once all excess moisture has dried from the substrate, these effects should cease. Remove efflorescence by scraping, brushing with a stiff bristle brush or a rough, coarse sacking type material.
FLASHING (Halo effect where 2 edges of paint meet). Losing the wet edge of the paint during application, trying to ‘touch up’ areas, especially higher sheen paints, but can occur with all paints.
Repaint to the nearest whole elevation, ensuring the wet edge is maintained.
KNOTS, RESIN EXUDATIONExcessive resin level / content.Resinous species of timber.Solar heat gain (heat absorption of dark coloured finishes).
Remove excess resin from knots and other resinous areas with a hot air paint stripper. Wipe immediately with methylated spirit to remove residue. Apply two thin coats of fresh knotting.
MOULD OR MILDEWThe germination of spores contaminating offending surfaces under damp / humid conditions, generally occurs in bathrooms / sealed rooms.
Remove all signs of organic growth with a stiff bristle brush and / or washing. Treat the area liberally with Crown Trade Fungicidal Solution. For areas prone to condensation use Steracryl Mould Inhibiting Matt or Steracryl Acrylic Eggshell.
ORANGE PEEL EFFECT Application by roller without laying the paint off with a brush (such as applying gloss to doors), poor atomisation when spraying.
Wet abrade to smooth, re-coat using correct method and adjustment.
Problem/Cause Solution
POOR ADHESION TO NEW GALVANISED METALWORKNew, bright condition galvanised metalwork provides a surface to which paint does not readily adhere to.
Wash with hot water and liquid detergent solution to remove all contaminants, frequently changing the water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all residues. Allow to dry. Pre-treat all areas to be decorated with an application of a suitable Passivating Wash. This pre-treatment will blacken the galvanising and confirm satisfactory surface degreasing. Apply one coat of Crown Trade Universal Metal Primer within 48 hours.
RAINSPOTTING (pitting)Rain / water attack during the drying phase.
Wet abrade smooth, recoat.
ROPINESS (brush marks)Poor flow of the paint, over brushing, rapid drying etc.
Rub down and recoat.
SHARP ARRIS EDGESPoor opacity due to inadequate / insufficient paint film build over sharp profiles.
Round all sharp edges to a 1.3mm radius. Remove all dust.
SLEEPY GLOSS (low sheen)Sinkage into substrate, due to insufficient primer or undercoat, MDF paraffin wax contamination.
For MDF use Crown Trade Grip Extreme Fast Drying Primer after rubbing down, then recoat, other surfaces may simply require recoating. Never apply a solvent-borne gloss directly onto MDF as it lifts the ‘grain’.
WRINKLINGApplication too thick, usually gloss paint layer skins over but remains wet underneath. Can also be caused by overcoating before the previous layer is dry and applying paint below 8°C.
Allow affected areas to harden, rub down with wet and dry abrasive paper to smooth finish, and recoat.
