Sure-Fire Bubble Popping Method


After reading this thread starting from the original page 1 and now seeing where it's gone, I came up with a sure fire bubble popping method.

If your paint is thinned properly and you're getting a ton of bubbles....

Hit it with a heat gun.


Warm up the heat gun on the low setting, roll your paint, and follow right behind with a heat gun in your other hand. Make quick passes and you'll see the bubbles pop like magic. The trick is that the high heat is enough to fast-evaporate the thin shell of mineral spirits thats holding the bubble together, but nowhere near enough to skin over or dry the paint.

Tried it with rustoleum and it worked great.
