What causes a freshly painted wall to peel when dry.(.latex indoor paint by glidden)?

i took the masking tape off very carefully and the paint peeled right off with it.......in fact, i can peel the whole wallWhat causes a freshly painted wall to peel when dry.(.latex indoor paint by glidden)?
Ugh....I feel your frustration. I have run into this problem from time to time, too. I think it's just the nature of latex paint, to some extent.However, I have found two different ways to avoid the problem you mention. One is to remove the masking tape while the paint is still damp and hasn't really ';set'; yet, before it has a chance to adhere to the tape. The other is to use a single-edge razor blade to run along the edge before you remove the tape so that you basically cut a line of separation between the tape and the paint.





I've done a lot of painting, but I'm not a professional, so maybe someone who really knows what they're doing can give you better ways to deal with it. This is just what has worked for me. Good luck!What causes a freshly painted wall to peel when dry.(.latex indoor paint by glidden)?
You may have used a latex paint (water based) over an oil based paint. The old ';water and oil don't mix'; axiom rings true here. Wait until it is completely dry, sand the walls, prep the surface a little better, prime and paint again. Talk with the folks in the paint dept at a home improvement store just to make sure.
Did you prime it before painting?
you did not prepare your serface correctly and you schould have run a sharp knife down the tape edge before peeling tape off.
you left the tape on to long
You didn't prep the walls properly. It is not the paints fault. The walls have to be clean and dry for any paint to stick.
I'll betcha the wall had been previously painted with an oil-based paint. Latex is water-based, and should never be used over an oil based paint for reasons you have just discovered.
Was the paint frozen (left out in a cold garage, for example)? That could have ruined it.





Possibly the surface was not prepared for painting (either the previous layer was not appropriate to receive latex paint, or there was too much grease or dirt on the wall). It would have had to be in really bad condition for this poor a result, however.
Most likely you tried to put a flat or satin over a gloss. You will need to use a primer (Kilz) first and then you can paint with a flatter style of paint over a gloss.
Improper preparation. Latex won't stick to a slick or dirty surface. You must sand or remove the underlying surface %26amp; make sure its clean %26amp; dry. You may also use a primer to cover the underlying surface %26amp; provide a better gripping surface for the latex.
you probably didnt prep the wall correctlyor you didnt use the correct primer for the paint
priming it would help...i don't know if you did or not, but humidity could have played a factor in your problem...call a local paint store ( or two) and ask them why this has happened and if there's a way to correct it...then the next time you paint you won't have to go through this again...good luck
either the wall was dirty (had grease or nicotine) or you put latex paint over oil base paint. You must use primer first.
If the wall was already painted and you're re-painting it, then most likely you used a different base paint. That is to say that you used oil based latex and the wall had water based paint on it, or, you used water based latex and the wall had oil based paint on it. One type won't stick to the other and they'll usually peel off after drying.
Most likely it's a ';prep'; problem -- either the wall wasn't completely clean or you didn't prime before you painted (or you used the wrong primer).





....it could be weather related, too. If it's really humid sometimes that can happen.





I had that happen once -- it's a LOT of work to re-do it. I feel for you.....
is there oil based paint under the latex?
Should first apply an undercoat/sealer, allow that to dry and then paint it with your latex topcoat.
When I bought paint this spring the salesman asked me if I had washed my walls. I was painting over a flat base paint. I told him it couldn't be washed easily but that I had vacuumed it. He said that in many cases if the area that you are painting is dirty the new paint will not adhere to the surface. So my question to you is this. Was the surface you painted dirty? The salesman also told me there is a product that you put on your wall before you paint to help your new paint stick. I hope this helps.l
