•Identify what you intend your Exposed and Semi-exposed Surfaces are to be – the Guide Spec does a good job of coaching you as to what to fill in. The references to species and cut are applicable to Wood Veneer Casework. If it is Plastic Laminate – use the B Alternate.
•Remember the Statement – “meeting the requirements of the AWS for the Grade specified.”
