The paint loses its expected gloss, appearing matte or dull. Possible Causes: • Over-Drying or Rapid Drying: High temperature or low humidity can cause uneven spreading, resulting in a dull finish.

Orange peel is a textured, uneven surface resembling the skin of an orange, resulting in an aesthetically undesirable finish.

Sagging or running in furniture painting occurs when paint moves downward on the surface without proper leveling, especially on vertical surfaces, due to gravity and poor adhesion.

Pinholing refers to the appearance of small, round holes on solvent-based paint surfaces, typically caused by rapid solvent evaporation.

Contamination refers to the presence of unwanted small particles—such as dust, fibers, hair, or dirt—on the paint surface. These particles disrupt the smoothness of the paint and negatively affect the aesthetic appearance.

Dry spray occurs when paint emitted from the spray gun dries too quickly and adheres to the surface in a rough, textured manner. Although this issue may not always be visually obvious, it can be felt by touch. It typically arises from premature drying of the paint or improper application techniques.

Primer cracking refers to cracks that develop on the primer layer’s surface. These cracks occur due to poor adhesion of the primer or stresses arising during the drying process. Cracking typically results from incompatibility between primer and topcoat or from rapid drying.

Sanding marks are scratches that occur on furniture surfaces during the sanding process. These marks generally result from excessive pressure on the sandpaper, improper choice of sanding material, or incorrect sanding technique.

Silicone blushing refers to surface defects such as blistering or peeling caused by volatile substances (often silicone-containing products like perfumes, deodorants) interacting with the paint surface during furniture finishing. This occurs when silicone-based compounds beneath the paint react with volatile chemicals, leading to surface deterioration.

The delayed drying or incomplete curing issue in furniture coatings, particularly with polyurethane, water-based, acrylic, and cellulosic paints, occurs when the paint fails to dry within the expected timeframe or does not fully cure. This results in a sticky or soft surface, preventing the achievement of a smooth and durable final finish.

Build-up at edges, also known as the frame effect, refers to the accumulation of paint in a thicker layer particularly around the edges of furniture surfaces during the painting process. This phenomenon typically results from improper application techniques or inadequate surface preparation. The frame effect causes the paint at the edges to appear darker and thicker, preventing the formation of a smooth and even finish.

Surface wrinkling refers to distortions such as waves, puckering, or wrinkles that appear on the surface after paint application in furniture finishing. This issue generally occurs due to improper adhesion of the paint to the surface or unfavorable conditions during the drying process.

Peeling and flaking refer to the partial or complete detachment of paint from the surface following furniture painting. This issue commonly arises when the paint does not adhere properly or when the underlying layer has not sufficiently cured. Peeling or flaking can cause significant aesthetic and functional problems, compromising the durability of the surface.

After the painting process, sanding may be required after a certain period. However, a delay in the sanding time indicates that the paint has not sufficiently hardened or reached the desired consistency. This situation can lead to improper sanding and ultimately compromise the quality of the final paint coat.

Adhesion failure occurs when the paint does not sufficiently bond to the surface, causing the paint layer to detach or peel off. Improper adhesion can lead to significant aesthetic and durability issues.

Milkying, or whitening, refers to the appearance of white, hazy spots on the surface during the drying process of especially water-based paints. This occurs when the paint fails to dry properly, causing significant aesthetic issues.
