Solvent base paints tend to be brittle with the time. Do water base paints deteriorate in the same way?

Not. The particles and the resin of the water base paint form a flexible film along the cycle of life of the paint. This film has the ability to expand and to contract with the surface, which helps the paint in its durability time.

A solvent base paint forms its film through constant reactions through its cycle o life. These reactions cause in the paint to be brittle with the time, which can result in paint cracking or flaking. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
