ABSTRACT:
A device and method for the measurement of the thickness of a wet coating, such as paint, on a substrate, the device comprising a frame with two legs having ends which may be pressed through the wet coating onto the substrate. A probe is mounted in the frame and is adjustable towards and away from the frame. An indicating scale is provided to show the position of the probe. The probe has a transparent or translucent tip so that the point at which contact is made with the wet coating may be observed. The method employs a calibration step by setting the device on an uncoated surface of the same shape as the coated surface, thereby avoiding errors due to wear of the device and curvature of the surface.
