1. Painting Safety
WARNING: OVERSPRAY FROM CERTAIN ENAMELS, IF PUT IN WATER, IS FLAMMABLE. STORE
ALL OVERSPRAY IN COVERED CONTAINERS AWAY FROM BUILDINGS WHERE
SPRAYING OPERATIONS ARE CONDUCTED.
WARNING: WASH ALL RAGS AND SPONGES USED TO APPLY ANY PHOSPHORIC ACID
CONVERSION COATINGS (ALODINE) BEFORE DISPOSAL. IF MATERIAL DRIES ON
RAG, THERE IS DANGER OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
WARNING: MIX DOPES AND LACQUERS WITH AIR DRILL. DO NOT USE ELECTRIC DRILL.
ARCING ELECTRIC DRILL MOTOR WILL IGNITE FUMES.
WARNING: VERIFY SPRAY ROOM IS WELL VENTILATED. A CONCENTRATION OF FUMES WILL
CAUSE A DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD OR INSUFFICIENT OXYGEN FOR THE
OPERATOR.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW PAINT STRIPPER TO CONTACT FIBERGLASS REINFORCED PARTS
SUCH AS RADOMES, RADIO ANTENNAS, WING PARTS, OR WING TIPS. FIBERGLASS
STRUCTURES MAY BE FINISHED WITH ACRYLIC LACQUER OR POLYURETHANE
ENAMEL AND ARE DAMAGED BY THE STRIPPER.
2. Polyurethane Paint Safety
WARNING: POLYURETHANE PAINT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. SERIOUS INJURY
WILL RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
WARNING: DURING TRANSIT AND STORAGE CHECK FOR SIGNS OF A BULGING CAN, OTHER
THAN NORMAL ODOR, OR A CHANGE IN RESIN FROM A CLEAR TO A CLOUDY
STATE. A SLOW CARBON DIOXIDE BUILDUP WILL CAUSE CAN TO BURST. REMOVE
AND PROPERLY DISPOSE ANY DEFECTIVE CANS.
WARNING: ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND WEAR APPROPRIATE BREATHING
PROTECTION FACE MASK WHEN PAINTING.
WARNING: POLYURETHANE PAINTS CAN PRODUCE IRRITATION OF THE SKIN, EYES, AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT DURING MIXING AND APPLICATION. EXPOSURE TO SPRAY
VAPORS AND MISTS DURING SPRAY APPLICATION MAY CAUSE BREATHING
DIFFICULTY, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, AND DRY COUGH. INDIVIDUAL
SUSCEPTIBILITY IS A CONTROLLING FACTOR. ONCE SENSITIZED, MANY PEOPLE
CANNOT TOLERATE ANY EXPOSURE AND MUST THEREAFTER AVOID EXPOSED
WORK AREAS.
WARNING: PRODUCTION TYPE MIXING AND SPRAY PAINTING OPERATIONS MUST BE IN
SPECIALLY DESIGNED, EXHAUST-VENTILATED AREAS.
