How to check readiness
Check the real material or treated area at the slowest location before the next step. Try a protected edge first and avoid turning, dragging or concentrated loads. Open the area gradually and keep heavy or hot tires off until the full stated milestone. Use this only as the rainfast milestone. It does not establish general cure or re-entry safety.
Avoid this mistake
The first visible change is not always the manufacturer’s final-use milestone.
