What is the proper surface preparation for stainless steel before coating to resist a salt-laden atmosphere?


Specifications often state that glossy surfaces must be dulled before overcoating. What are some methods for doing this, especially when sanding isn’t feasible?


We need to paint our publicly owned lighthouse. What should I include in the specifications for this bid regarding surface preparation, coating systems, and other considerations?


How does the concave or convex curvature of a surface affect the dry film thickness reading?


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 is the clearest way to specify the degree of smoothness required by surface preparation on an exterior wood substrate covered with deteriorated and uneven layers of paint?


How does the concave or convex curvature of a surface affect a coating's shore hardness reading?


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


The first step of using replica tape to measure surface profile (i.e ISO 8503-5) is choosing the right tape e.g Coarse and X-Coarse. But without any data about blasting surface, how we can choose the right replica tape corresponding to the surface profile?


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


How do you account for the profile of blasted steel when taking a dry film thickness reading?


How do you prepare flame-cut edges for application of thermal spray metallic coatings? The problem is that these edges are often harder than the abrasive, so a very low profile is produced, resulting in lower-than-specified adhesion of the thermal spray to the steel.


A specification for a bridge to be built of high-performance weathering steel requires an SSPC-SP 10, a profile of 3 to 5 mils, and metallizing with a final DFT of 10-12 mils. What challenges, time, and costs are associated with obtaining the profile?


The literature indicates that UHP waterjetting produces a profile on steel, although of a micro nature. Is this sufficient roughness for good adhesion of thin-film primers?


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?
