Upon completion of painting, the airflasks must pass the following tests: (a) Perform a visual inspection of the air flasks to ensure that there is no evidence of runs, sags, blisters, orange peel, specs, bumps or roughness; (b) Test to ensure that the paint has fully cured by saturating a lint free cloth with MEK and wipe the coated surface. The MEK should not soften or remove any paint; (c) Test the adhesion of the paint by pressing a 6 inch strip of pressure sensitive tape (No. 250 manufactured by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company or equivalent); (d) Perform a hydrostatic test of the air flask for 3 minutes at 4500 psi.
