Why coatings fail early

Coating over dirt, moss or chalky residue
Skipping the primer or using the wrong one
Mixing brands between primer and topcoat
Applying too thinly, often because of a worn spray tip
Leaving cracked tiles or failed pointing under the coating

Spray equipment

Membranes are applied with airless sprayers. Carry spare tips and filters, and check the data sheet for the recommended tip size. See spray tips and accessories.
