Please remember some important items relative to your application:
Any ceiling application (we assume there will be horizontal and vertical surfaces in your job) goes on at 1/2 the stated max/coat thicknesses to prevent dripping. So, where 1 application coat might suffice on walls (to achieve the required .018" dft) without sag, The contractor will need to spray 2 thinner coats on a ceiling. This is conventional knowledge for spray people. In general, we recommend a 'tack' coat application of the the coatings first, then a full coat will achieve the stated dry film thickness of .018".

TPR2 defines its coating coverage's on 3rd party tests as Wet Film Thickness(WFT) and Dry Film Thickness(DFT). This is done so that the coating application will be accurate independently of the substrate and also easier to confirm compliancy with 3rd party test results. Remember, Porous surfaces(fresh sheetrock, plywood, etc) will absorb more coating and thus take more product to meet thickness requirements than recoated or non porous substrates(metal, plastic, pre coated wood/sheetrock). TPR uses the attached procedure to measure wet film and dry film thickness....GET COATING MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
