 Appendix A) For purposes of determining whether an exposed sheet meets the standards set forth above, all chalk, dirt and other film deposits on the area of the sheet to be tested for color must be removed by washing prior to evaluation. To wash the test area, use a pad of 28/24 mesh cheesecloth and distilled water and a mild detergent cleaner, Wet the cheesecloth thoroughly with the cleaning solution and rub it, using moderate hand pressure, over an area of the sheet approximately 4”x 4” Care must be taken to avoid any scratching, burnishing or other physical alteration of the coated surfaces. After washing, as described above, flush off the test area with distilled water and allow to air dry. Failure to keep condensation or moisture from nested materials may result in damage or wet storage stain, voiding seller’s warranty. Texwin Metal Sales 1501 Goodnight, Wills point, TX 75169.
