• the coating material was prepared by mixing 2 parts by mass of composite silicone rubber powder for 20 sec. in a dental mixer with 10 parts by mass of a commercial long oil phthalic acid resin-type coating material (65 mass % of solid substance; the product of Kanpe Hapio Co., Ltd.; the material was applied with one stroke as an azure color house paint). This material was applied by a glass stick onto both sides of an aluminum plate (6 cm x 15 cm), while the thickness of the applied material was controlled by attaching an adhesive tape to both sides of the aluminum plate. The coated plate was dried at room temperature in a draft for two days, whereby a coating film was formed.
