The brightness of the sheeting, totally wet by rain, shall not be less than 90% of the above values. Wet performance measurements shall be conducted at 0.2 observation and -4 entrance in accordance with the rainfall test method specified in federal specification LS-300C, "Sheeting and Tape Reflective: Non-Exposed Lens, Adhesive Backing", Para. 4.4.9.4.

3.0 Adhesive

3.3 The adhesive shall not exude from edges of the sheeting when processed into the finished decal so as to cause stacked pieces to stick together during shearing, cutting, printing, handling, or while packaged in shipment and distribution.

4.1 The sheeting shall have a similar diffuse (daytime) and reflected (night time) color.

4.2 The sheeting surface shall be readily cut/diecut without cracking, or flaking, and shall be compatible with transparent or opaque inks and protective finishing clear as designed and supplied by the reflective sheeting manufacturer for decal fabrication.

4.3 The decals processed and applied in accordance with the recommendations of the reflective sheeting manufacturer shall be easily cleansed of normal direct accumulation by washing with water and mild detergent. The surface of the decals and wording and numerics printed thereon shall be sufficiently solvent resistant to permit cleaning with solvents such as VW&P naphtha, mineral spirits, turpentine, and other solvents commonly used on vessel finishes. When rinsed and dried, the surface shall show no appreciable change following cleaning when compared to a new clean decal surface.

4.4 The protective finished clear coating on the decals shall remain clear and durable and must provide a compatible surface for direct application of additional decals. The protective finished clear coating on the front of the decals shall also be designed so as to not de-laminate when repeatedly exposed to sunlight and heat for at least twelve (12) months.

5.0 Physical Characteristics

Retro-reflective sheeting shall be free from ragged edges, cracks, and blisters and be packaged in accordance with accepted commercial standards. Decals shall have a service life of a minimum of twelve (12) months.
