Can I scrape putty and brush latex paint in winter?

It is not advisable to brush latex paint in winter, and the temperature should be above 5℃. The minimum film forming temperature of latex paint is 0℃. When painting, the paint film is thin, which is easy to freeze and destroy latex particles in cold environment, and the film forming environment is low, which easily leads to incomplete film forming. The film formation of latex paint is a slow process, and it can only be formed at 25℃ for 7 days. Therefore, cold and rain should be avoided during film formation.

In the process of brushing latex paint in winter, the wall will crack and fall off. This is because the winter weather is cold, and there is moisture or condensation on the wall or surface. If the wall paint or primer is brushed directly without treatment, small bubbles will be formed and cracked when the temperature rises, which will lead to peeling and peeling of the wall in the later stage of construction.
