Is their possibility to differentiate between what kind of material is coated?
For example if you coat steel their no or you can say negligible absorption.On the other hand the same is not possible while coating material like wood.
Two schools of thought here. The first is that the shell value would be the thickness of pure paint and not include the region where wood and paint have absorbed together. The second is that for woodworking you may be adding paint to the nominal value, in which case you would "Shell Outward" and in the Combine feature you would use "Add" not "Subtract". Hope that makes sense

Thank you!
I've wanted a method for electrode spark gap offset for years, and this appears to be it!
…I will try it in the next few days!
