Paint Bubbling Off To Barewood


I prepped the sunny side house/scraped/sanded/oil primed barewood/ applied 2 coats latex paint. Numerous bubbles appeared on the freshly painted house.Any ideas how to correct the paint from bubbling?

Sounds like maybe moisture is trapped.

I agree. Sounds like a moisture/humidity problem.

How Long Was The Dry Time With The Oil Primer? And What Brand Of Latex Paint Did You Use?

I Use To Work At A Paint Store That Sold Benjamin Moore Paint And Their Exterior Latex Paint Has Some Kind Of Alkyd Resin Or Some Thing Like That In It. Anyway, On Some Occasions The Paint Would Bubble.

How much time elapsed between application and when the bubbles formed?
