Bathroom paint repair
Due to my lack of experence with painting I mistakenly did not prime
over a large number of patching I preformed with joint compound due to nail pops (new construction). The surface was throughly cleaned with a TSP solution prior to painting and I used 2 coats of paint due to the lack of primer/to insure good coverage. I also used a high quality Behr paint. The blemishes I see only appear when using the shower/bath in bathroom. When showering obviously a certain amount of humidity is generated, and as normal we combat this with the bathroom fan however about the time the mirror starts to fog, we begin to see the spots on the wall where I patched. It seems as the mosture in the air begins condense on all surfaces in the room but it seems somewhat avoid the spots that I patched with joint compound. This creates a very unattractive and obvious poke-a-dot effect on the wall. After the mosture evaporates post shower/bath the above situation goes away and the paint looks like normal. I am at a total loss of why this is occuring any help on how to correct this would be greatly apprecated! TIA. -MW |
