When can visual inspection of TFIFRM take place?

Visual inspection should occur after the material has dried or cured. While a coating is still drying or setting, the surface can be wet, tacky, or still changing, which can hide defects or mislead about thickness and coverage. Once it has dried or cured, the film reaches its final properties, making it possible to reliably spot issues like pinholes, cracks, delamination, dull or uneven finish, and inadequate coverage. Inspecting after drying or curing ensures you’re evaluating the actual finished condition, not a work-in-progress state.
