Paul N. Gardner (Gardco) offers a new wet film thickness gauge with the potential for the addition of a custom screen printed or digital photograph. The gauges are conveniently sized to fit in a wallet – like a calling card (2-1/4 " x 3-1/4" x .034") – and are made of solid aluminum stock. The gauge offers dual purpose with measurement scales in both mils and microns. It can also be used and kept as a record of the wet paint thickness taken or cleaned in solvents and reused. The gauge can be customized with a company logo, contact information, slogan, photo, or directions for use.

These notched paint thickness gauges are used for coating thickness measurement or film thickness of paints, enamels, lacquers, adhesives, and many other wet coatings that are sprayed, dipped, or brushed on a smooth surface. They meet ASTM D4414 "Standard Practice for Measurement of Wet Film Thickness of Organic Coatings by Notched Gauges". When ordered with certification, they comply with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 as applicable and come in convenient packs of 10.
