Troubleshooting
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free of contaminants. Verify correct mixing ratios and application temperature. Consider using an appropriate primer.
Uneven finish or solvent bubbles
Check for incorrect spray gun settings, excessive film thickness, or improper drying conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying.
Coating remains tacky or soft
Verify the hardener was mixed in the correct ratio and allowed to induct properly. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for curing. Humidity can also affect drying times.
Rusting persists despite application
Confirm the surface was thoroughly cleaned and treated for existing rust before application. Ensure the coating was applied evenly and without gaps, and that the correct primer with anti-corrosive properties was used.
