Induron’s RecommendationInterior System – Field Apply

Shop Priming Shortcomings

– Possible Peened Surface

– Contamination of shop primer prior to field coating application (fluid spills, tobacco, etc)

– Potential chalking and hardening of prime coat due to UV and/or heat exposure

– Potential for solvent entrapment in prime coat

– Damage done to primer during transportation and construction
