Another important step for Pull-Off testing is the semi-core cut done prior to the test. This is to define the test area. The cut is the same dimensions as the dolly and the dolly is glued over it. This ensure that the force can be converted into a stress reading (ie MPa). This is the measurement that is specified for coating, paint and other coverings.
