Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Allow the patch system to dry and avoid loading or repainting it before the agreed preparation is complete. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
