The heat dries the paint too fast, making it nearly impossible to avoid blistering (起泡) and peeling (剥落).Avoid painting on very windy days. The wind causes the paint to dry too fast and can blow dirt into wet paint.Dont apply latex paint when the temperature is below 50 degrees F unless its formulated for cold-weather application.
