Re: Bubbles

The bubbles are from the propellant that's still in the paint when it lands on the surface. If you get a really nice wet coat, you might find a few bubbles pop up just as your found from being a bit too aggressive w/the paint can. There's a fine line between a nice, smooth coat and getting it just a bit too close/too wet and ending up w/some bubbles, and those bubbles seem to appear as the paint settles and starts to cure.

I mostly decant these days, saves paint and aggravation.
