Paint Peel

[Molep]

Hi all

Having finished refurbing my sash windows around 1 month ago all seemed well until it started to rain.

On some of the bottom rails the paint has peeled away from the glass.

All the windows had the same prep - sand, glass clean, sugar soaped, primer if back to bare wood and two coats of bedec aqua advance.

All the wood was dry enough.

All I can think of is maybe I painted them during the really hot weather and now its got a bit cooler the paint has contracted., anyone else experienced this?

will pop up a picture laters.

If its only on the glass id get a glass scraper and tidy it up

Indeed, if it's just the paint on the glass that's peeling then that's done you a favour! Sharp razor blade etc, take it all off

Surely you don't want paint on the glass anyway

as above get a small blade and clear it off but masking it up properly in the first place would have saved you the hassle I guess

Yeah you need to put 2-3mm of paint onto the glass to seal the glass, wood, putty, only its supposed to stick to it. Luckily after having checked the rest its only done it in 4-5 areas.

Did not know that! Makes sense though. Is this important on both sides of the window?

Not as important on the inside as outside as long as you don't have any condensation, if you do and it gets in between the glass, wood, putty on the inside it will also rot it out.

I am going with I painted these windows in really hot dry weather and the paint dried to fast to get proper purchase on the glass, I remember the paint almost drying as soon as i put it on but didnt have any floetrol to mix in to slow the drying.
