Remedial

Upon discovery of damaged coating, the recommended remedial would be to reapply the coating as per the manufacturer’s instruction. Alternatively, it is recommended that the coating is periodically reapplied as per manufacturer instructions to prevent further defects such as biological growth from appearing.
