New Coatings/Finishing Resource Center to Open in Virginia

An international coatings training and research center will be built in Halifax County in Virginia as the American Wood Finishing Institute relocates their corporate headquarters and training center from New Jersey. The “Center for Coatings and Application Research and Education” will create about 15 jobs thanks to a $1,052,000 grant from the Virginia Tobacco Commission to prepare its new quarters and to buy equipment.

Do-It-Yourself Training

Training and recruitment of good manufacturing people is like the weather, in that everyone talks about it. But unlike our ability to influence the weather, there are things a shop can do about training and recruitment. This story describes one shop's innovative and successful approach to this vexing problem.

Response to Training Question

In regard to the question from C.L. in the August Clinic as to train or not to train, it sounds like C.L. is new on the job and was handed a problem area.

Spent Bulbs as Hazwaste

I wish to emphasize the significance of one critical word in your response “...usually fitted with green end caps and certified to pass TCLP”. Unless you have that certification on hand for your lamps, or TCLP results from a certified laboratory, you may find during your next inspection that the cost of (mis)managing your lamps has more than erased all the savings you made.

Automobile Painting Courses

I just had to respond to W. G. about spending $28,000 for automobile painting classes.

Automobile Painting Classes

There is an institute (Name Withheld) that will teach painting, custom painting, etc, but you must also sign up for their auto collision and refinishing course. Unfortunately, I learned that these courses would cost me $28,000 as quoted to me by the institute representative. I thought that was FAR too high, and will pursue your advised method of practicing and learning by trial and error, picking up pointers from people I meet, or technical books you can buy at the painter supply shops.
