RUNYON RULE #30: You Can’t Coat Your Way Out of Poor Preparation.
Adrian Valencia reminds us that successful coatings start long before the first coat goes down. Moisture testing, proper surface prep, and achieving the right profile aren’t optional—they’re the foundation of a job that lasts.
Test it. Prep it. Then coat it.
A few extra minutes of preparation can save you from costly callbacks and coating failures. Do it right the first time.
