What do you do when the surface profile is higher than the dry film thickness of the specified primer?


What is the remedial action if a blaster produces too high a surface profile for the required primer thickness?


What are the pros and cons of using an organic vs. inorganic zinc primer?

What steps must be taken to mitigate poor adhesion over an existing aged silver aluminum paint? What primer will achieve good adhesion?


How do you measure wet film thickness on shop-applied organic zinc-rich primers to accurately predict dry film thickness?

Our shop applies a great deal of OZ primer, and we have found that WFT readings with a standard gauge are not accurate predictors of DFT.
