BUBBLING
Small bubbles in or on the paint film.
CAUSE:
Liquid solvent (thinners/reducers) becomes "trapped" in the paint film when the surface layer skins over too quickly, preventing their evaporation into the atmosphere. Solvents that vaporize within the paint film leave bubbles, pinholes or craters as they push through and "pop" the surface. Solvents can be trapped due to:
- Excessive film thickness from puddling in tank.
- Too hot and/or too humid atmospheric conditions.
- Too hot/warm tank conditions.
- Moisture remaining in tank.
REPAIR:
- Allow surface to completely cure and reevaluate.
- Strip out and remove using KBS Strip. Repeat AquaKlean, RustBlast, and Gold Standard Tank Sealer steps.
PREVENTION:
- Allow tank to reach room temperature before applying sealer.
- Do not attempt to apply sealer in direct sunlight, as tank surface and inside air will be too warm.
- Drain out excess sealer.
- Avoid allowing coating to puddle/pool inside tank.
- Avoid too hot/humid atmospheric conditions (ideal = 55°-82°F/13°-28°C)
- Do not allow tank to "cure or dry" in direct sunlight.
- Keep tank away from heat while curing.

TIP OF THE MONTH
Do you always seem to have paint peeling from your wood windowsills, doors, door frames or thresholds…no matter what you do? The key is to permanently waterproof & seal the wood surface using RustSeal. Yes, RustSeal will stop the damaging effects of water penetration not only for metal but wood as well. Just scrape off the old coating, make sure the wood is bone dry & apply a couple of coats of RustSeal. RustSeal loves to seep into and adhere to porous surfaces and wood is no exception. Your woodwork will look great and have a rock hard nonporous coating permanently resistant to moisture, mold & mildew! As always, topcoat RustSeal with your own paint color if directly exposed to UV rays.

What Others Are Saying about KBS Coatings:
“I have used the Rust Seal coating and the epoxy putty with great results from both. I have found the consistency of the Rust seal better than another Stop Rust Coating I have been using for over 10 years. Your product flows and covers better, seems to be a higher solids coating.”
- Mike M.
“My boys have bikes that have truly taken a beating with the beach weather! I can’t afford to buy the boys new bikes, that would cost me a small fortune! So, I decided to try out this KBS system. The boys and I decided to just dive into it and see where it took us. Much to my delight, it was an incredible experience. This system was so easy to use, and the end results are beautiful! My boys actually love their bikes more now than they ever did! Keep up the great work KBS!!”
