Work through a project-specific preparation checklist before applying resin, paint, stain or a clear finish.

Turn preparation decisions into a short record that can be reviewed before material is opened.

Use this record well

This checklist organizes observations; it does not replace a product label, safety data sheet, technical data sheet or professional inspection.

Do not use a blank item as proof that a surface meets a coating or mold-maker requirement.

This is a recording aid. It makes no product, safety, compatibility or compliance determination.
