[Ferro List] Re.:More On Tom's Crud Testing (Keith)

[Christopher Glasspool]

Hello Keith,
I'm glad your back at posting again. Your writing or voice often reminds me of my old discussions with my Dad.
What you say on this makes perfect sense except that I'm not seeing any problem anywhere on the Internet on this. See My part 1,2,3 posts to Tom.
What I don't like about an asphalt emulsion barrier is that it is so closely resembles the release form materials that I've used. It might lubricate the reinforcement! Should I find with my testings that a intimate bond problem occurred, I would be more likely to try an acrylic bonding agent like Acryl 60 sprayed on the mesh, but at this juncture I don't expect to find a problem, from what I'm reading and investigating.
One more test than what Tom as tried would be some sort of empirical pull out test, maybe using a block of mortar with plain steel and galvanized and treated nails halfway embedded, that gets pulled after curing. - chris
