Avoid
painting in direct sunlight
When
painting outdoors it is important to follow a few easy
steps in order to avoid, "Lap" marks which will show after
the paint is dry. Latex paint has a molecular structure
which allows vapors to pass through it, which prevent
blistering. However, these same properties cause the paint
to dry very quickly, especially on hot days, or in direct
sunlight. It is best to paint your siding, or foundation
in long runs across the house, a few layers at a time,
rather than to paint section by section. You won't see the
lap marks until the paint is completely dry, but they will
be there.
