| Low viscosity CPCs are best suited for what type of application? | Spraying |
| What is used to determine the dimensions of a corrosion pit? | Depth gauge |
| The depth gauge is not suitable for determining the depth of stress corrosion due to its relatively | large size of indicator pin. |
| Which formula would you use to determine maximum corrosion pit depth? | (A + B) ÷ 2 – C = Depth |
| What special requirement(s) must be met when mechanically removing coatings on steel and titanium alloy? | Area must be well ventilated only |

| When using the PMB cabinet blaster, check the media level | prior to use. |
| What can happen if you dwell too long in the same spot when abrasive blasting? | Stress concentrations can develop |
| What is your most important safety consideration when you’re using a portable power tool? | Following standard operating procedures for each type of tool |
| Portable power tools used in areas where oil or grease is present must have | special cords. |
| With a portable power tool, the function of a constant-pressure switch is to | shut off the power when it is released. |
| Goggles and face shields are important when working | with pneumatic tools. |
| If you do not use a diffuser nozzle, what air-pressure setting is used for shop cleaning? | 15 psi |

| When should you dismantle a spray gun? | After each use |
| What is the minimum number of locations an aircraft must be grounded to before it can be electrostatically painted? | 2 |
