Paint adherence

[Anthony_7]

Hi all,


does anyone have any idea what is happening to the paint here? The first strokes seem to apply the paint
but subsequent strokes seem to drag the paint off again.
The following day I lightly sanded this down and the paint adhered better.
On other parts of the wall it adhered fine and then on further patches I experienced the same problem
and don't have a clue what is causing it. I have used a different paint and get the same problem.
Beneath this is simply white emulsion the surface of which was fine.


Thanks for any help and advice.

Anthony

Looks to me that after you applied paint its started to dry and as you have gone back over so it's skinned up like jelly.
Not sure what you are painting and what paint you are using.

Thank you for the reply.
The paint is Bedec All Prime but I also experienced the same with an F&B paint.
It would be strange that the paint should start dry in such a short time (30-50 secs) i.e between strokes.
On the second stroke the brush was dragging it all off. I will give it a light sand tomorrow and see it it improves.

Give paint a good mix.
Clean surfaces well.
Meths is good as will remove grease and grime.
Then a wash over with damp microfiber cloth.
Let it dry.
Covered all the basics there.
I can't work out what's wrong

Thanks!
This morning, I sanded and dusted it and it adhered a lot better.
I think I should sand every time before painting. I had thought I had cleaned the surface but maybe there was something
that could only be removed with a sand.

Thanks again.
