Well, Pete, if you mean the paint should not be aroused before application,
I can't help.

The older skyscrapers used oak to protect the steel beams from fire. (I got
several tours of the Tribune Tower in Chicago and was amazed that it seemed
to be built with wooden beams. Wrong, that was just the fire proofing.)
The World Trade Center tried a foam coating, but it got blown away.
