I was putting the second coat of white paint on my walls today and immediately after painting a small patch of the wall went all bubbly:
I prepped the walls properly by washing and sanding (admittedly I didn't do that between coats) and bizarrely the rest of the same wall looks absolutely fine. Could it have been the heat (south facing room), or maybe it was because I'd just opened a new tin of paint and perhaps stirred it a bit too vigorously and therefore introduced air bubbles? Any ideas welcomed as I'd like to avoid it happening again.
Anyway, fast forward half an hour or so and they've mostly disappeared:
Is there anything special I should do before putting the next coat (colour rather than white) on? I'm guessing bubbling isn't ideal for adhesion, so don't want to slap on the much more expensive finishing coats just to have to redo it all again. If the bubbles had remained I would have likely scraped/sanded/filled and painted again.
