NOTE: If the fifth coat has produced slight runs or sags, the touch up procedure of para 1-6 i should be
performed before the sixth coat is applied. If the blades were removed before painting, then the blade should be
turned upside down before applying the sixth coat to the bottom. The sixth coat should not be applied until the
fifth coat has set to be at least tacky to the touch.
