B.	Epoxy Primer Examination: Prior to application of CIM membrane, visually inspect cured primer surface. Surface must be clear and glossy, and free from milky, hazy or oily film amine blush
1.	pH Verification: Verify pH of cured epoxy primer surface. Acceptable pH range is 7 to 8. 
2.	If pH is greater than 8 or if visual amine blush is present, solvent wipe affected area with methyl ethyl ketone until pH is within recommended range.
