How to Prevent SOLVENT BOILS OR BUBBLES in Paint – SINNEK

What are car paint solvent boils also known as solvent popping?

Solvent boils appear when the solvent in a coat is occluded under the outer surface of the topcoat that has dried. That is to say, these are solvent particles that have not finished evaporating, and that have been trapped by another top layer that has evaporated faster and has dried.

To prevent solvent boils in automotive paint, you must pay special attention to the drying process, always considering the room temperature and following the drying times instructed for the product by the manufacturer.
