Steps

  1. Review the project's crack-control requirements and substrate movement potential to determine if added tensile/impact resistance is warranted
  2. Consider fiber-reinforced base coats for high-impact areas, larger uninterrupted panels, or where enhanced crack resistance is specified
  3. Confirm the fiber type and dosage match the manufacturer's data sheet for the specific base-coat product, since fiber reinforcement is largely a proprietary formulation matter rather than a single ASTM value
  4. Verify the fiber-reinforced product is still compatible with the lath/furring and finish coat system specified for the job
  5. Document the selection in the submittal so inspectors and the owner know a reinforced product was used instead of standard base coat
