Foreman said use mastic and fabric but I do not know the sequence
Mastic-and-fabric is a reinforced seal method. Ask for the approved sequence before applying it; do not invent the layering order.
Stop if
- Can you show me the approved mastic-and-fabric sequence for this joint before I apply it?
Watch out
- Do not guess the two-coat/fabric sequence on high-pressure or specified work.
Check
- Verify the product/system that requires reinforcement.
- Ask whether fabric/mesh is embedded between coats.
- Check surface prep and cure time.
- Watch corners, seams, and gaps that need reinforcement.
- Practice/confirm sequence before applying it to production work.
