My bath has a skylight (ventilation fan and small window also). I used Kilz primer and then American Traditions Latex Kitchen and Bath over it. We use the fan and leave the window open when showering, but after a few weeks, we got little dark spots resembling water drops forming at the intersection of the vertical skylight wall and the horizontal ceiling. Looks like water has run down the wall of the skylight? There are no leaks in the skylight (I checked).
Does this sound like a paint problem, prep problem or not enough ventilation? I am not sure how we could vent anymore?

Is the skylight fixed or vented. If fixed plenty of moisture filled vapor will find its way up there and condense. If it is vented open the vent. If you already do=problem. There are remote fans that can be put directly in the shower area. This may be the best option imo. Keep the moisture from getting out and up is always best. Keep the other fan for you know what :coffee:
