CRAWLING AND CREEPING:

This condition develops when the paint, varnish or enamel draws up into beads and does not wet the surface. Applying alkyd paint, varnish or enamel on a hard glossy surface in dry weather will develop this condition. It can be eliminated by sanding and then wiping the surface with a pre-paint cleaner. Properly cleaned and prepared surfaces will eliminate crawling and creeping.
