Description:
Blister
Source: Cameo
A raised bubble or bulge on a laminated or coated surface. A blister may be due to excessive heat, to trapped pockets of air, liquid, or solids, or to insufficient adhesive. Blisters may occur in laminating films, adhering paper or cloth to boards and gluing veneer. Paints, coatings, embedments, and metals can also have blisters when bubbles occur near the surface.
Source: Etherington, Roberts
Bubbles or pockets of air, water vapor, solvent vapor, etc., trapped between the board and pastedown of a book, causing the board paper to bulge, forming a blister. A blister effect may also be caused by a small mass of adhesive, which stretches the covering material, or by failure of the covering material to adhere properly, causing a protuberance or "blister" between board and covering material. 2. Defects in paper resulting from too rapid drying of the web or poor condition of the drying felts which allows air between the felt and web. Blisters are also defects in coated papers caused by too rapid expansion of moisture in the interior of the sheet when subjected to the high drying temperatures of web presses.

A small, raised area of paint indicating cleavage of paint and/or ground layers, either from each other or from the support. May be caused by the virtually inert paint and ground layers being unable to accommodate dimensional changes in the canvas support (due to changes of temperature, moisture); or by lack of adhesion, even areas of repellency, between the layers: or by the effect of accidental fire, or local heat source used for fixing flaking lamps. irons), which heats and softens the paint layer, developing pressure beneath, which expands causing the softened film to blister. Treatment for this is local, with slight pressure, using small irons, spatulas, or other heat sources, to introduce a suitable adhesive between the separated layers. This adhesive may be an aqueous, animal or fish glue solution, a synthetic resin emulsion or solution, wax-resin cement, etc,

Generic term to indicate a phenomenon of discohesion within the pictorial layers (or between these and the support) that is manifested in the formation of an empty space in the form of a semisphere. In mural painting, for example, the term may indicate both a swelling caused by the presence of a bottacciolo, as well as caused by the application of a protecting layer (final varnish) with an insufficient transparency. In paintings on wood panel or canvas, bubbles may develop due to various reasons: paintings placed on altars, for example, may easily be subject to this phenomenon due to the presence of a heat source (candles) placed near the pictorial surface.

A blister is a raised area of the surface layer of an object, which is caused by chemical action or excess heat. Blisters are often empty underneath and attached to the substrate around their circumference.

Deformation of the paint film in the form of bubbles, due to loss of adhesion between the paint layer and its support. |
