They are metal studs and I do have a pic (But I can't put it up right now) But you have a perfect line at

every​

stud and you can see every screw also.

a quick search revealed this. I think this is the best explanation I've seen. I know I've seen the problem, and never been able to explain it quite like this.

Thanks....that is already more than I have found.

 

My plan to remedy this is to prime everything with Cover Stain and to top coat with a top quality eggshell.

 

That's what I've done and so far it's held up. I know I see that on vaulted ceilings here with wood studs on some occasions too. Good Luck.

 

I think there was a discussion at CT about this and we all agreed it was an insulation issue.
The studs were conducting cold, causing condensation. No matter what you cover it with it will re~appear during certain weather.

 

Surface Leeching it sounds like.

 

The link that

gave explains it pretty well, I will try and post some pictures Tomorrow...It is crazy it looks like striped wallpaper.

My problem is how to coat it so it won't come back through....they aren't going to replace the drywall.

 

I found the thread on CT it was classified as Thermal Bridging. Here is the link. There is also a pic of the problem so you can see if it looks like your problem.

Thank You

 

'Thermal Bridging'

Triple Word Score!

 

From Reading the article and others I have found by doing a search of Thermal Bridging it doesn't seem like I am going to fix this with just paint? Although I am not sure that this is a mold problem. What I failed to say is that this problem is inside of a church I wonder now if the striping can be explained away by smoke sticking to the studs by this Thermal Bridging (My new million dollar term!!!) phenomenon.

 

Print out all the info and give it to the client.

 

Give your client the basic breakdown of the problem and see what options you can come up with. Almost any problem can be fixed it just depends on how much money they are willing to invest to create the solution.
Let us know what you end up doing about this. :thumbsup:

 

Yes I too would like to know how this turns out. Thermal Bridging.....yep gonna remember that one!

 

Check for any outlines/images of Mother Teresa before you prime. It would be terrible to think you painted over one of the seven signs of the apocalypse.

 

what about a couple coats of that insulating paint? or wait until summer and it will go away it sounded like. where are you located?

 

I found this What do you guys think?
