of at least 150EC was employed" (page 9 of Brief). Cady
discloses "[t]he composition of the present invention is
readily cured as a coating by exposure to a temperature of
about 100EC or higher for adequate time periods, usually at
least about 20 minutes" (column 3, lines 27-30). This
disclosure fairly corresponds to appellants' specification
