Techniques Gerald Mccomas Uses:
I commonly use statistical designs to select the best formulation components for the project.
I then use a DOE to optimize the formulation and application conditions so that the product meets the customer specifications.

Gerald Mccomas's Problem Solving Skills:
- Material selection depending on performance and environmental impact
Gerald Mccomas's Problem Solving Experience:
- Besides developing several patented products, I have designed products that had a lower applied cost, as well as products that required special application needs, for example, a substrate that couldn't tolerate the standard cure temperature of the product, or was sensitive to the solvents that were typically in that product.
I also developed a 2K urethane coating, that saved the customer millions in retooling, because it eliminated the primer station, and reduced the cure cycle by 75%.
