What is the reason for cracking of wall latex paint

1. Putty is an engineering putty made by mixing heavy calcium powder, talcum powder, a certain amount of cellulose and building glue. It is widely used in construction due to its low price and ease of use. However, its quality basically does not meet the technical specifications of finished putty stipulated by the state and industry.

2. If there are no cracks in the wall and putty powder, the problem is with the latex paint. However, latex paint itself is only a semi-finished product and needs to be used with water. The reason for cracking is either that the water is diluted too little or it is sprayed too thick, causing the paint film to dry slowly and lead to cracking.

3. If all the above reasons are excluded, it can only be said that the film-forming aid in the latex paint is insufficient and the quality is not up to standard. It is recommended to use brands such as Dulux and Diamond for home decoration.

Do you need to deal with cracks in latex paint?

1. If cracks appear in the latex paint on the wall, they must be dealt with in a timely manner.

2. If not handled in time, it will not only affect the overall appearance of the home, but the cracking phenomenon will be aggravated, causing large areas of putty to fall off the wall.

3. If the crack is minor, you can use elastic putty to repair it. If it is serious, you must scrape off the surrounding latex paint, and then fill it with putty and latex paint.

How to deal with cracking of latex paint

1. We first need to clean the wall base where the latex paint is cracked, and spread some unused newspapers on the wall. Apply putty, and then re-apply latex paint. This method can be done by yourself, which is relatively simple and can also fully ensure the paint film of latex paint.

2. If the crack is very small, you can buy a decoration material called "elastic putty" and apply it to the crack. This method is also very simple, but it can only be used for very small cracks. If the crack is large, you can't use this.

3. If the crack is located at the top and the range is relatively concentrated, you can buy a painting or other beautiful decorations to cover the crack. Before buying, you should roughly estimate the size of the crack. Don't buy too small or too large, which will affect the appearance.
