If it whitens, it is likely to be mildew.The main benefit of a primer is to even out the porosity of the surface and ensure optimum adhesion so that you get the best possible results from your paint system, but other features might include stabilising a powdery surface or helping to prevent stains ruining your decoration. These bubble-like appearances are caused by blistering, which happens when certain areas lose adhesion, forcing the paint film to lift from the surface. What are the possible causes?

In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying. The terms often get mixed up and depending on where you are in the UK, you might use alternative terms. Just to confuse matters further, we also have primer/undercoats and primer/sealers, which do both jobs!

Scrub the entire mildewed area with a solution of one part bleach and three parts water – clean till all mildew is gone. Use rubber gloves and eye protection. In exterior situations, scrape or sand substrate to remove wrinkled paint and repaint with a high quality exterior finish.
