Re: Thickness Of Paint
The fact that tape pulled the paint off the wall has nothing to do with the thickness of the coating.
To see what mil the applied coating should be when dry, check the TDS sheet for the product. Your lawsuit issues would appear to be prep related, not paint related. Good luck. If it is worth the money, contact Bob Cusamano in FL for testing. |
