What We Cover

• Caulk-recess-depth-management Ensuring sealant is applied at a sufficient depth within a joint to allow for expansion.
• Coating-compatibility-verification Testing the chemical relationship between a new topcoat and an existing substrate.
• Feathering-of-dry-edges Blending the perimeter of a previously applied coat to prevent visible transitions.
• Micro-void-filling-in-stucco Using specialized tools to press coating into the small pores of cementitious surfaces.
• Mil-thickness-deviation-analysis Identifying inconsistencies in the dry film thickness across a single plane.
• Opacity-gap-assessment Identifying areas where the substrate color is telegraphing through the finish.
• Pigment-settling-agitation-cycles The mechanical process of ensuring color consistency through periodic mixing.
• Sanding-dust-containment-systems Using vacuum-attached abrasives to manage particulate matter in occupied spaces.
• Scuff-mark-identification-protocols Categorizing different types of surface abrasions before selecting a corrective coating.
• Shear-thinning-of-viscous-coatings Adjusting the flow characteristics of heavy-bodied paints for better application.
• Solvent-evaporation-rate-control Monitoring the speed at which carriers leave the film to prevent premature skinning.
• Splatter-containment-on-vertical-surfaces Using drop cloths and shields to prevent aerosolized paint from landing on adjacent planes.
• Substrate-thermal-expansion-gaps Accounting for the movement of different materials in a single joint.
• Tension-testing-of-painter-tape Managing adhesive pull to prevent substrate tearing during removal.
• Wick-effect-prevention-on-unprimed-wood Managing how thirsty substrates pull liquid away from the surface during application.
• Wood-grain-filling-procedure Applying specialized resins to stabilize texture before a high-gloss application.
