• Test adhesion after the coating has cured for 24 hours
  by using a knife to cut a crosshatch pattern (#).
  Refer to ASTM D3359 for proper test procedure.
  Use the tip of the knife to pull the edge of the coating
  from the substrate. If the coating comes off over half the
  squares the adhesion is not adequate. If the adhesion
  is not adequate, apply Conpro Point 5 to a new area and
  then re-apply the coating. Repeat the cross-hatch test. 
   
• Coatings should always be applied to natural break points
  in the structure. If natural breaks do not exist, determine
  the best place to create a break or stopping point.
  Once work has started do not stop until the entire area
  within the break points is complete. 
   
• Do not overlap coatings. Protect adjacent areas. 
   
• Always keep a wet edge. This will minimize lap marks. 
   
• Mix pails from different batches together to eliminate the
  possibility of color variation when an entire surface is visible. 
   
• The precise addition of water from batch to batch is
  critical when using colored cement coatings. Establish
  a consistent method for measuring liquids and mixing. 
   
• Over troweling of pigmented cements will affect
  color uniformity.

• Preparation of horizontal surfaces
  is absolutely critical.
  Refer to the ICRI Technical Guideline 03732
  for complete information. 
   
• Substrate preparation is critical to the long term
  performance of coatings. The wall surfaces must be
  clean of all contaminants, including paint, dirt, dust,
  loose debris, oils and sealers. 
   
• Always apply a sample of the material to the structure
  to determine coverage rate and adhesion. 
   
• Temperature and moisture in the substrate can affect
  the adhesion, drying time and color of coatings. 
   
• Moisture in the wall is affected by direct sunlight
  and shade. The shaded side of the structure will
  most likely retain more moisture than the East
  and South facing sides.
