The First Dome After Primer was Applied
The first dome was coated in an industrial primer before a layer of shotcrete was applied. Instead of using primer, which fails to prevent vapor penetration of the foam underneath, we leave the Airform in place after construction. With regular maintenance, the Airform will protect the dome structure indefinitely.
