Solve Potential Paint Problems
Reddish-brown stains on the paint surface are called nail head rusting and are usually a sign that the surrounding wood may be rotting.
What are the possible causes?
- Non-galvanized iron nails exposed to moisture
- Nails not properly countersunk
- Nail heads not caulked with siliconized caulk before painting
- Frequent exposure to damp wood
What is the solution?
- Completely remove the nail and replace with a new nail
- Wire brush each nail head until bare shiny metal
- Clean and spot priming with appropriate Berger primer
- Caulk nail heads with paintable Berger acrylic caulk
- Topcoat with premium Berger acrylic or oil paint
