Troubleshooting

WRINKLING OF THE FILM

In some applications, problems may arise resulting in wrinkling of the coating that was previously applied to the floor.
PROBLEM SOLUTION TO PROBLEM AVOIDING PROBLEM
TOO HEAVY AN APPLICATION - Some coatings when applied too thick will wrinkle after drying. Either sand smooth and recoat or remove and re-apply the coating. Follow the manufacturers recommendations as they pertain to the coverage rate.
SOLVENT ATTACK - Some coatings are too active chemically to topcoat over the coating that presently exists on the floor. Mechanically or chemically remove the present coating and redo the floor. Check the compatibility of the coating with the surface film prior to application; if necessary, use a less aggressive coating product.
