Ia using a paint made up on the suggested formula we
recommend baking the helmets at from 180 to 800 dogreee Fahrenheit
for from two to two and one half hours. If sand is to bo applied
to the helmets it may be sprayed direotly on the last ooat of paint
befars'the fiaol baking.
fe are seading you by p&roel post a small sample of the paiat made up on the suggested formula and will be pleased to hare you test this out under aotual conditions. We shall be very glad to give you any farther information oonoeralng this material at any time and will be glad to know of any action you cay take in regard to the matter.
