5. As agreed among the interested parties, use one of the following
methods to remove loose paint from the lattice cut:
a. Apply a piece of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape over the
center of the lattice cut in a direction parallel to one set of cuts,
and firmly rub the tape with a fingertip or fingernail. The applied
adhesive tape should fully cover the center of the lattice cut.
Within 5 minutes, remove the tape by taking the free end and
pulling it off the surface at a 60° angle with a smooth motion,
taking 0.5 – 1 second.

6. Visually inspect the cut area, optionally using the included 3x
Magnifier, and classify the results according to the description and
