Just what does "surface tolerant" mean when it comes to the use of protective coatings? If you ask that question to 10 people you are likely to get 10 different answers, some of which may be similar and others quite varied. For the purposes of this article, let us accept this definition: "A surface-tolerant protective coating is one that can be applied over marginally cleaned surfaces." Sounds good, doesn't it? Now, define "marginally clean." To some, it can mean a surface that is commercially blasted. To others, it can mean a surface that is power tool-cleaned. To others, it can mean a surface that is water-jetted. To others, it can mean a surface that is solvent-cleaned.
