6.4 Check that Coating thickness in all areas is at least 5/64 inches using a
small metal ruler or 80 mils on a film gauge. Spread the Coating as
necessary to achieve a uniform thickness. If the film thickness in an area
is insufficient, pour additional Coating or use the spreader to redistribute
the Coating as necessary.
6.5 Use a spiked pin roller (available in the Coating Installation Tool Kit) to
rupture any air bubbles. If no spiked pin roller is available or in places that
the spiked pin roller is unable to reach, break the surface of any bubbles
seen by probing them with an unfolded paper clip.
6.6 Inspect the perimeter of the barrier for seepage. If Coating is seeping under
the barrier, use a spreader or gloved finger to force some remaining Adhesive
under the Barrier in the area of the leak until the flow stops. If no usable
Adhesive remains, a piece of Coating-saturated paper towel may also be used.
6.7 Remove the masking tape from the floor around the barrier.
