SSPC Basic Spray Application Manual

Provides contractors and others with a ready tool for in-house worker training, and can be used either for independent study or as part of a more formal group program. Proceeds logically from a review of surface preparation through coating characteristics, spray application equipment and operation, application basics, maintenance work, failure analysis and remedies, and safety highlights. Each chapter concludes with a summary of the main ideas covered, and a set of questions to test the worker's understanding of the material presented. An answer key appears in the back of the manual, along with a three-page training and job experience record to help chart worker progress. Other helpful supplements include charts reviewing common problems and solutions, guides to dew point and relative humidity based on psychrometer readings, sample product and material safety data sheets, and a comprehensive glossary.
