| -- The recoat interval depends on the subsequent exposure conditions | If the maximum recoat interval is exceeded, abrade the primer surface to ensure intercoat adhesion. Surfaces exposed to a contaminated environment must be washed clean with high-pressure fresh water and allowed to dry before recoating. |
