CHECKPOINT 8 – TOP COAT APPLICATION

Verify environmental conditions (see CHECKPOINT 3).

Ensure overcoating window is as per manufacturer’s instructions.

Verify proper mixing and stand-in (induction) times, as applicable.

Verify wet film thickness at random, to prevent under or over application.

Brush out all runs, sags, drips, and puddles.

CHECKPOINT 9 – FINAL INSPECTION

Verify final system dry film thickness. Conduct 5 sets of 3 readings for each of the first 3 100-sqft areas, followed by 5 sets of 3 readings for each succeeding 1000-sqft area.

Ensure that system cure is in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation for intended service.

Ensure potable water tank exhaust ventilation is maintained continuously from and during coating application through final system cure, to exhaust all solvent to the atmosphere and to prevent solvent entrapment.

For immersion coatings (including tank U/W body), record date and time of the following events:

Final coat application: _____/_____; Return to service or removal from environment controls: _____/_____

CHECKPOINT 10 – RECORD KEEPING

Complete, sign, and submit all provided QA Inspection Forms.

QA-2 - QUALITY ASSURANCE INSPECTION FORM

(ENVIRONMENTAL READINGS)

Use one sheet for each activity. Record conditions every four hours from before surface preparation to application of final coating system coat.
