of coating defects


Surface Conditions SKIPWELD


Description: Non-continuous weld or skip weld.


Probable Causes: Used where a full weld is unnecessary for constructional purposes.


Repair:


Ideally a continuous weld should be used. Where this is impractical, the gaps should be cleaned and filled with a suitable mastic to prevent bridging by the coating.


Comment: Unless the gaps are properly treated these areas will serve as initiation points for corrosion.
