The surfactants are one of the ingredients of paint that can help make the paint’s performance get better especially when it comes to the paint’s color, stability, leveling, flow and stability. However, when the latex paint takes too long to dry, this would cause surfactants to rise to the paint’s surface, thus causing surfactant leaching.

This is a problem that most painters encounter when they are using latex paints during the spring and fall seasons. This is because the temperature during the daytime is low and the humidity is high. When the moisture condenses, the spots occur which results to the unsightly streaks on the newly painted wall. There are other causes of surfactant leaching such as pressure washing, applying the next paint coat (without letting the first coat to totally dry up), painting in interiors that are unheated, and applying a heavy coats of paint that will likely result to streaking.

Removing the streaks or the spots is not actually difficult. Just be sure you are being careful of what you are painting even after a day or two. With the use of a wet cloth, wipe the streaks out and this may work. A gentle hose spraying may also do the trick. If this is not an effective solution in removing the streaks, you can make use of a dish detergent and water and should wash the staining out. Another way to remove the spots is to use a multi-purpose cleaner. However, in surfaces that re exposed to the weather, it may just disappear in month’s time.

If nothing works especially in areas where it is not exposed to the weather, just allow the paint to dry in two weeks to a month. Then choose a perfect time to repaint the whole surface, a time that would affect the drying process of the paint. This will prevent you from dealing with the same problem all over again.

To avoid surfactant leaching in the future, choose the perfect time wherein you don’t have to wait for days to let it dry. This will help you in preventing the leaching to occur and save you the money, time and effort when you need to repaint.

‘Bandage’ the Bleeding Walls

Beautiful walls, the color, the wall accents… but wait! The walls, they look wet and waxy! Such case when your walls seem to have that waxy appearance is called wax bleeding. It could be because you did improper priming or skipped the priming at all. If you have dark walls, it could also be a cause of wax bleeding since dark colors absorb heat more. The paint film may also be not thick enough because flat paints are most likely to wax bleed. Why bleeding? Because the appearance of wax bleeding involves discoloration that affects woodwork, ceilings and hardwood siding. Moisture also causes wax bleeding. Given a long period of time, dirt and other external substances get collected on the paintwork’s top layer thus causing the wax bleeding.

Painting walls

But fear not! There are solutions to treat wax bleeding so you’ll know how to prevent it in the future just in case you decide to remodel your home.
1. Before tearing down your walls to replace them, make sure that what you’re seeing is really wax bleeding. You can try this trick with bleach. Apply a few drops of bleach on the suspected area of bleeding. If the area applied with bleach does not affect the discolored surface, then we’ve got wax bleeding.
2. To treat the stained area, scrub it off using water and soap. That is, for mild stains only. You might need to use tougher solvents to rub off the wax.
3. For prevention, paint your new hardboard within a month’s time with three coats: a primer and two finishing coats.
4. Before you re-paint, select a high quality primer. Priming is crucial to preventing wax bleeding.
5. It was mentioned that moisture could increase the bleeding. Remove any excess moisture surrounding the area before you brush on any primer or paint. To remove moisture, you can use alkyd-based primers followed by a high quality acrylic latex paint. For interiors, use stain-blocking primers followed (again) by a high quality acrylic latex paint. Acrylic latex paint is thick and not flat.
6. Like rocks, wooden walls also weather. Weathering is caused by a lot of factors both internal and external, so consider your environment if you always have wax bleeding on your walls. Remember that moisture and the color of the paint (which increases heat absorption) play key roles in wax bleeding.

Prevention and treatment of wax bleeding must not be treated lightly. You must consider purchasing high quality primers and paint so the benefits are long-term. If you decide to use cheap paint and primer and you have excessive moisture and/or dark paintwork, there are more chances of recurring wax bleeding which will make you spend more. You must also consider your environment and make adjustments to prevent further wax bleeding in the future.

Wall Paper Border Ideas for a Personalized Kitchen

The kitchen is where many people spend a lot of time. Personalizing the kitchen’s décor through customizing its wall paper border is one way of adding a cheerful note to your day. Start now with these kitchen decorating tips: kitchen wall paper border ideas.

Wallpaper borders are often repetitive in designs which give you a boring, monotonous effect. Try using wallpaper cutouts instead to help narrate a happening. The cutouts will be different from one another and will thus draw the attention of visitors towards the one-of-a-kind wall paper border. One good theme of a “story border” is that of welcoming visitors of the family into the kitchen. Try inserting words into the border to spell out a message to help tell the “story.”

Light-blue wallpaper border

Self-sticking wallpaper is also another option that can really add interest and variety to your kitchen. Cut a few strips of self-sticking wallpaper and have your family members, especially the kids, press their hands into paint/s (bright yellow, blue and red are great for this method) and make imprints on the plain white strips. Have each member write their name and/or signature below their hand imprints. This will hopefully help foster family togetherness since it is a “group” effort. Consider the hand imprint border as a work of art by the entire family.

When the kids grow up and leave the nest, you’ll have a nostalgic time looking at their cute handprints when they were younger displayed on the wall. Aside from handprints, you can use stamps on the self-sticking wallpaper or even use stencils and rub-ons to get you personalized wall paper borders. Stamps can be bought from crafts stores or simply just cut out from potatoes if you are on a tight budget. Still another option for the self-sticking wallpaper is to decoupage photographs onto your wall paper border if you have interesting pictures of you and your family. Let it serve as an open family album for friends and relatives to browse.

Wine styled wallpaper border

If self-sticking wallpaper is not readily available in your local department store, a great alternative is the use of long strips of canvas to be glued to the walls using extra-strength wall paper paste. Note that canvas strips can be taken down and stored away until they are needed again. To break from the household monotony, why not use unorthodox kitchen wall paper borders? For the extra bold, buy children’s wall paper depicting different scenes, like a jungle, a circus, a rocket ship, a boat, a carnival, a beach, etc. Watch your kitchen turn heads with this idea – not everyone has the guts or the flair to get away with this daring move.
