Sealant applied in wet/dusty conditions
Wet, dusty, cold, or dirty conditions can make sealant fail. Stop and ask before applying material in bad conditions.
Watch out
- Do not seal over wet dust or cold/failed material just to stay busy.
Check
- Check if the surface is wet, dusty, oily, or too cold.
- Clean/dry the area if allowed.
- Check product label or foreman direction.
- Protect the area from dust or water.
- Wait or use another approved method only if directed.

Say this to your foreman
The surface/temperature does not look right for sealant. Do you want me to clean/dry/wait before applying it?
