To bond or not to bond

Imran Kahn is a technical sales representative working for Tremco Canada. He reviews a hot applied waterproofing job where the waterproofing failed to bond to the suspended concrete substrate. The surface preparation was text book and the cause of the failure was unknown. It was especially unusual because the waterproofing bonded during the morning but was failing come the afternoon within the same day. The eventual cause became apparent only after several other jobs exhibited the same phenomenon.
