7、e purchaser and the sellermust agree upon one of the two methods for determining color appearingin Test Methods D29.5. Drying Time5.1 Shellac varnish shall dry hard in 1 h. Shellac varnisheshaving a body greater than that for a light body varnish shall bethinned to the nonvolatile matter content of
8、a light bodyvarnish. Special conditions for this test may be made by mutualagreement between the purchaser and the seller.6. Body and Cut6.1 The body and cut of the respective types and gradesshall be based on the percent of nonvolatile matter and shallconform to the following minimum requirements:N

11、specified solvent in manufacturing the varnish.Allowance has, therefore, been made for 2 % maximum moisture andother volatile matter and 3 % insoluble matter in orange shellac, and for6 % moisture and other volatile matter in bleached lac, in arriving at aminimum value. Varnishes of the above specif
12、ied bodies or “cuts” shouldaccordingly conform to the respective minimum requirements specifiedfor nonvolatile matter.7.
