Name the safety and health

precautions to be observed in
operating a dope room,
including storage of material.
1a
It should be well lighted and ventilated
using spark proof motors, lights, and
switches. All flammable material should be
store in fireproof containers in protected
areas. Dope and paint rooms that are not
located in a separate building should be
isolated from the rest of the building by
metal partitions and fireproof doors.
1b
What primer is used when
maximum protection of the
metal is desired?

2a
Epoxy

2b
 What type of test can be
performed to identify existing
paint finishes?

3a
Apply a coat of engine oil to a small
area. Nitrocellulose will soften in a few
minutes, but acrylic and epoxy will show
no effects. If not identified, wipe down a
small area with MEK. MEK will pick up
pigment from an acrylic finish, but will
not affect an epoxy coating.
3b
 What causes blushing when
applying dope or lacquer, and
how can it be prevented?

4a
Under humid conditions. Rapid evaporation of
thinners and solvents lower the temperature of the
surface of the wet dope causing condensation of
moisture from the air. The moisture causes a milky
white or cloud appearance known as blush. The
condition may be eliminated by heating the room to
decrease humidity, or by using a blush-retarding
thinner to increasing the drying time. Blushing is also
caused by moisture in the air supply, drafts, or
change in temperature.
4b
 What is the purpose of using
fungicidal dope when finishing
aircraft fabric?

5a
To prevent micro-biological
deterioration (rotting) of the
fabric.

5b
What are the identification
marking requirements for
United States registered
aircraft?
6a
Letter "N" followed by the registration number must be
displayed on both sides of the fuselage, or on both sides
of the vertical tail surfaces. The height of the characters
must be equal in size and be at least 12 inches, and the
characters must be 2/3 as wide as they are high. The
exceptions to the width rule are the number "1", which
must be 1/6 as wide as it is high, and the letters "M" and
"W", which may be as wide as they are high. Characters
must be formed by solid lines 1/6 as thick as they are high,
and spacing between each character may not be less than
1/4 of the character width.
6b
What should the color of
registration markings be?

7a
Should be contrast to their
background

7b
What are two types of dope
used for aircraft finishes?

8a
Nitrate and Butyrate

8b
What is the advantage of
butyrate over nitrate?

9a
Less flammable

9b
What would happen if dope
was ever used over paint or
enamel?

10a
 It would have the tendency to
lift and remove such materials.

10b
 What is applied to metallic
surfaces as a common resistant
covering before the application
of enamel or lacquer?
11a
Zinc chromate primer

11b
 What can be done to the
surface of components to
prevent filiform corrosion?

12a
Ensure primer is completely
cured.

12b
What are the most common
methods of applying aircraft
finishes?

13a
Dipping
Brushing
Spraying

13b
What type of paint may be used
over any paint system that is in
good condition?

14a
Epoxy topcoats will adhere to
all paint systems that are in
good conditions and may be
used as a general touchup,
including touchup of defects in
baked enamel coatings.
14b
What is normally the cause of
runs and sags in a spray
application of a paint finish?

15a
 Holding the gun too long in
one place or holding the gun
too close can cause too much
paint to be applied in one area.
15b
What causes an "orange peel"
or "pebble" finish?

16a
 Incorrect spray gun setting
Incorrect air pressure
Incorrect paint viscosity
Holding gun too far from work
16b
What causes fisheyes in paint?

17a
Surface contamination

17b
What is used to thin chromate
primer?

18a
Toluene

18b
 Which federal regulation
prescribes the size and location
requirements for aircraft
identification number?
19a
FAR Part 45

19b
What type of materials should
be thoroughly protected when
using paint remover?

20a
Synthetic rubber surfaces
Aircraft tires
Fabric
Acrylics
20b
 What instructions should be
followed when covering an
aircraft with materials specified
in an STC?
21a
Instruction included in the STC
