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.
