number, date of fabrication, shelf life and a clear indication of the type and color of product. The
containers shall remain closed until the contents are required for use. The oldest material of each kind
shall be used first.
5.3 MIXING
Paint shall be thoroughly mixed prior to application. Mixing shall be done in a well-ventilated, clean and
dust-free area. Paints shall be mixed by rotating power mixers or rolling rigs, until a uniform
consistency is achieved.
Multiple pack paint materials shall be mixed in accordance and under the conditions as specified by the
paint manufacturer. Containers with hardener shall be completely emptied into the container of the
base material. No more material shall be prepared at the same time than can be used within the time
designated by the paint manufacturer as "pot life" (life after opening of container).
