Procedure
- Make a lattice pattern in the film with the appropriate tool, cutting to the substrate.
- Brush several times lightly backwards and forwards, using a soft brush or tissue to remove any detached flakes or ribbons of coatings.
- Place a tape over the cut, smooth it firmly with a fingertip and remove the tape.
- Examine the grid area using an illuminated magnifier.
ASTM D 3359 Standard describe that the number of cuts shall be 6 or 11. The spacing of the cuts in each direction shall be equal and shall depend on the thickness of the coating as follows:
11 cut lines for 1 mm/1.5 mm cutter used at film thickness up to 50µm (2 mils)
6 cut lines for 2 mm cutter used at films thickness between 50-125µm (2 - 5 mils)
