Also if they didn't bother to test such relatively straight forward thing as paint for those conditions, what kind of confidence can one have that other parts have passed those kind of tests?
- jacquesm 5y agoYou can bet that they did test for those conditions. The question is what combination of elements here is causing the problem, which is likely not an easy to answer question. Paint is complex, especially airplane paint.
- ethbr0 5y ago> such relatively straight forward thing as paint Think about high performance paint as a very thin surface that happens to be applied in liquid form.
- kabdib 5y agoGo read Bruce Sterling's 1993 article on something relatively straight forward, like glue: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/3zode9/bruce_sterling_on_how_superglue_is_hfy/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/3zode9/bruce_sterling_... I've done a bit more reading about paint; if anything, it's even more complicated than glue (bigger design space, for one thing: https://www.essentialchemicalindustry.org/materials-and-applications/paints.html https://www.essentialchemicalindustry.org/materials-and-appl... )
