Pours measured amounts of liquid coatings, such as medicated syrup, dye, and gelatin, onto tablets to form base or successive coats according to formula or production order. When applying enteric coating to control disintegration, pours enteric solution over tablets prior to subcoating. Sprinkles dusting powder onto tablets and stirs them to prevent tablets from sticking together and to produce uniform coating. Examines tablets for defects, such as chips and discoloration, and scrapes coating with fingernail to ascertain dryness.
