Preparation is the single biggest predictor of coating life. Great systems fail on bad prep; average systems succeed on great prep.

Key points

  • Grinding creates the bond profile
  • Repairs prevent telegraphing and edge failure
  • Moisture testing prevents delamination
  • Contamination removal prevents adhesion loss
