- Abstract
- This manual presents recommendations by the National Bureau of Standards and cooperating organizations for the most effective use of painting materials meeting Federal Specifications. Chiefly non-technical in nature, the manual provides practical information for the application of protective coatings. It also explains recent developments in the field of painting and includes pertinent references. Descriptions of approximately 60 paints and paint products are included to enable the painter to choose the most suitable materials for the surface to be covered. Emphasis is placed on methods of applying coatings and preparing surfaces for obtaining maximum protection with the materials used. Where paint failures have occurred, the causes are traced and remedies suggested.
