3.4.5 Condition in container. When tested as specified in 4.5.8, a freshly opened, full container of enamel shall

be free from lumps, abnormal thickening, or livering and shall show no more pigment settling or caking than can be

readily reincorporated to a smooth, uniform state.

3.4.5.1 Storage stability.

3.4.5.1.1 Full container. When tested as specified in 4.5.9.1, the product shall be capable of being readily

broken up with a paddle to a smooth uniform consistency. It shall be free from livering, curdling, gelling, pigment

float, hard caking, gummy sediment, or other objectionable properties for at least 1 year after date of manufacture.

The enamel shall conform in all respects to this specification.

3.4.5.1.2 Partially full container. When tested as specified in 4.5.9.2, the enamel shall show no skinning at the

end of 48 hours. In addition, the enamel shall show no livering, curdling, hard caking, or gummy sediment after
