Hi All,
Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? Before painting the house, I washed off the mildew with Jomax, powersanded it to a smooth finish and wash the area. Then I waited a week before I started painting the house. I first rolled the wall which has vertical boarding with SW Duration paint but noticed hairline cracks on some boards after letting the paint dry. I followed up by painting a second coat with a brush and it seems to reduce the number of boards that have hairline cracks but some areas still exhibit this problem.
Should I use a primer or some other type of paint instead and see if this fixes the problem? I am wondering if this could be due to wood shrinkage or something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
