Tlie primer was found to have very rapid drying properties which saved ap proximately 85 per cent hi the time required to paint detail pans. The aurfacer possessed superior flexibility and excellent sanding properties, as did the fairing putty. A smooth, glossy finish with a minimum of "orange peel"' was obtained with the lacquer.
