Quality Control Checklist
Every hold point on one sheet, from before prep to handover, with a log line for each coat: conditions, batches, the spread rate you achieved, and who checked. Add your business name and print it.
What it is for
One sheet per job, kept with the crew from the first day to the last. It asks the same questions at the same six hold points every time, and it is the record of what was checked, by whom and when. Why each hold point is where it is, and what to do when one fails, is in the quality control walkthrough.
- Copy the limits from the data sheet first. The top block has a blank for each, so the crew checks against the product on site rather than memory
- The coat log takes a line per coat. The dew point calculator gives the spread, and the film thickness calculator turns the material used on the first section into a film
- The last hold point hands over to the final walkthrough and handover sheet
The sheet
Add your details and they appear on the sheet. Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere: it lives in this tab until you print.
Quality Control Checklist
One per job. Initial each hold point as it passes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use this on a job?
Print one per job and keep it with the crew. Tick each hold point as it passes, fill in one line of the coat log for every coat, and initial it. If a check fails, write down what failed and what you did in the notes before carrying on. The finished sheet goes in the job file with the handover sheet.
Why are the limits left blank?
Because they belong to the product. Moisture limits, temperature ranges, spread rates and recoat windows differ between products, and a checklist that printed one set would be wrong for most of the jobs it was used on. Copy them from the data sheet of the products on site at the start of the job, so the crew checks against the right numbers.
What if the job has more coats than the log has lines?
Print a second sheet and use its coat log, or write the extra coats in the notes. The log has a line each for a primer, a base or body coat, a broadcast, and two topcoats, which covers most systems.
