Question: How Is 1t pos
sible to eliminate the even
tual bubbling and consequent
cracking Of paint in the crew
ices Of interior doors? We
are careful not TO spread the
paint too thick.
Answer: I believe the prob
lem is not the thickness of
paint, but insufficient clean
ing and smoothing Of surface
prior to painting. If any
traces of grease or dirt are
present, new paint will not
adhere, with the result you
have experienced. With an
