Episode 1: The Water Break-Free Method
Surface preparation is one of the most important stages in the aerospace coating application process. In this episode, our technical expert explains the Water Break Free Method.
Watch the full video below.
Learn how to confirm your surface prep before primer using the water break-free method: pour a small amount of water and check whether it forms a continuous film for 15–30 seconds (clean/ready) or beads up (contamination). Use it selectively on key areas, and consult the technical data sheets or reach out with questions.
