ADHESION: (Loss of)

Carelessness and lack of skillful preparation of the surface are the major causes of poor adhesion. The application of a primer or protective coating material on oily, dirty, greasy or dusty (chalky) surfaces contributes to loss of adhesion. Failure to sand glossy surfaces on interiors or exterior protected areas may result in peeling. It is important to remember that failure to use the proper primer for a particular surface will likely lead to adhesion problems.
