This regulation does not apply to facilities that manufacture solely fiberglass parts of boats such as hatches, seats, lockers, or boat trailers.
B. 
Exemptions. This regulation does not extend to surface coatings applied to fiberglass boats, and industrial adhesives used in the assembly of fiberglass boats. Surface coating for fiberglass and metal recreational boats, also called pleasure crafts, are addressed in § 505-71.1, Control of VOC emissions from miscellaneous metal and/or plastic parts surface coating processes. Industrial adhesives used in fiberglass boat assembly are addressed in § 505-71.3, Control of VOC emissions from miscellaneous industrial adhesives.

Weighted Average Monomer VOC Content =
 
Σ(Mi)
Where:
Mi
=
Mass of open molding resin or gel coat i used in the past 12 months in an operation in pounds (kg).
VOCi

The records shall be maintained for two years and shall be submitted to the Department on a schedule reasonably prescribed by the Department.
E. 
Cleaning material standards. The VOC content of cleaning solvents employed for routine application equipment cleaning shall contain a maximum of 5% VOC, by weight, or have a composite partial vapor pressure of no more than 0.50 mm Hg at 68° F.
