I also have concerns that they didn't dry it thoroughly.
Once moisture is trapped behind the lining, temperature increases changes the equilibrium between liquid & vapor. As the vapor fraction increases & so does the pressure.
So, since the volume has to increase to relieve the pressure. The only way to increase volume is for the lining to spall.
