While torch cutting is acceptable to shorten uncoated resteel, in no case should a torch be used on epoxy coated resteel. Any long epoxy bars should be saw cut and the ends patched with patching material approved by the coating manufacturer.

During placement the inspector should caution the contractor not to damage the coating and make sure the proper vibrators are used.
