the use of straight hose runs, or wide,
sweeping curves to prevent the erosive action resulting from sharp bends in the hose, and the
possibility of blowouts or similar personnel hazards.

Q

adhesion on oil based and water based paints.

A

Cut a series of cross-hatched lines
into the dried paint film with a razor blade. Then apply and remove a strip of duct tape. If
90% of the paint stays in place, it is suitable for use.

Q

Check the adhesion of epoxy paints

A

Tap the dried paint film with a hammer 10-20 times

with enough force to drive a nail 3/4” into a piece of pine.

24
Q

Do not extend shelf life on paints with;

A

improperly sealed or corroded containers, two part
epoxy paints stored above 140oF, water based paints which have been frozen, or oil based
paints which do not mix to a smooth consistency.

25
Q

Most two-part epoxies can be properly stored in ambient temperature
conditions and remain functional for up to

A

10 years

26
Q

Water based and oil based paints, can be

stored at ambient conditions for up to

A

3-5 years

27
Q

Previously opened cans of water based and oil

based paints are usually not suitable if stored for longer than

A

one year

28
Q

Previously opened cans

of unmixed two-part epoxy paint in good condition may still be good after

A

after 3-4 years storage

29
Q

Interior painting should normally be accomplished at intervals of

A

3 years or greater.

30
Q

ensure a dry surface, the temperature of the surface must be

A

5°F above the dew point temperature

31
Q

Maintenance of paint records is essential for evaluating the performance of coating systems.

A

Aboard ship this information is entered in the Hull History as required by the Naval Engineering Manual,
COMDTINST M9000.6 (series). For small boats, this information should be kept in the boat record. At
shore establishments, a Painting Log should be maintained.

32
Q

The following information should be

recorded whenever complete repainting is done:

A

a. Date of application.
b. Area painted.
c. Name of each finish material used, number of coats, specification number, name of manufacturer, date of
manufacture, and manufacturer’s lot number.
d. Number of gallons of each type paint used.
e. Temperature.
f. Dewpoint.
g. General statement of weather conditions.
h. Dry Film Thickness

33
Q

Abrasive Blast Cleaning

A

There are five degrees of blast cleaning

34
Q

White Metal Blast Cleaning.

A

white metal is the highest
level of blast cleaning. It is used for coatings that must withstand exposure to very corrosive
atmospheres where a high cost of surface preparation is considered to be warranted

35
Q

Near-White Blast Cleaning

A

evaluation of the completed cleaning job must be a
visual judgment. This preparation affects a 10 percent to 35 percent savings over white metal
blasting and has proven to be satisfactory for many of the special coatings developed for longterm
protection in moderately severe environments

36
Q

Commercial Blast Cleaning.

A

removal of
all loose scale, rust, and other surface contaminants. This method of surface preparation will
result in a high degree of cleaningadequate for the majority of paint
systems under normal exposure conditions

37
Q

For the marine environment, near-white blast cleaning

A

is the most common recommended level of surface preparation.

38
Q

Industrial Blast Cleaning

A

lesser degree of
cleaning than a Commercial Blast Cleaning where the objective is to remove most of the
coating, mill scale, and rust, but it is not worth the expense or time to remove all traces.

39
Q

When painting, the paint brush is dipped.

A

dip only half the bristles into

40
Q

Hold the brush at

A

right angles to the surface being painted

41
Q

If the brush is held obliquely and is

not lifted,

A

uneven and it will show lap spots giving a “dabbed” appearance

42
Q

brush that is held at too great an angle (obliquely)

A

will wear down at the ends.

43
Q

Roller Cover Materials.thin nap is

A

used on smooth surfaces and

44
Q

thick nap is used on

A

rough surfaces

45
Q

recommended for applying enamels to smooth surfaces

A

Blends of wool, rayon, and mohair (Angora goat’s wool) are considered mohair covers.

46
Q

painting cyclone-type and other wire fences

A

Lamb’s Wool maintains its resilience and carries a greater amount of paint than many other fabrics

47
Q

Synthetic Covers

A

Dynel and Dacron are available for covers and can be generally used
except for coatings containing alcohols and ketones

48
Q

Conventional Air Spray uses

A

air at pressures between 40 and 70 psi to atomize the paint

49
Q

optimum for conventional

spray

A

temperatures are well below the 70oF Hot spray

50
Q

Airless Spray is created by forcing paint through a restricted orifice at very high pressure.

A

Liquid pressures in

excess of 1500 psi are

51
Q

proper handling of the gun as it does on correct

adjustments of the equipment. In general, hold the spray gun

A

6 to 8 inches away from the surface being

painted.

52
Q

Always keep the gun at

A

right angles to the surface.

53
Q

Interior surfaces are generally painted

A

once every

3 years.

54
Q

Exterior steel surfaces on cutters and boats above the main deck shall not
normally be top coated more often than every

A

two years.

55
Q

Underwater Body and Boot-Top Surfaces.

A

(approximately 9-12 years).

56
Q

Weather Deck Surfaces (Non-Flight Deck).

A

3-6 years of service

57
Q

Powder Coatings

A

heating in an oven at

temperatures from 275°F to 450°F.
