Bubbles caused from a loss of adhesion and lifting of the paint film from the underlying surface.
Loss of caulk’s initial adhesion and flexibility, causing painted caulk to crack and/or pull away from the surfaces to which it is applied.
The lifting of paint from the underlying surface in the form of flakes. Flaking is generally preceded by cracking or checking, and will occur over different surfaces.

Thin, long, and relatively straight cracks that form in the paint film, usually in the direction of the plywood grain.
