Default [High-Tech] Sunscreen: "Provides DR 2 vs. sunburn (see Heat, p. B434)"

Greetings, all!

I'm confused. High-Tech offers the stats of sunscreen: 2 DR for 4 hours. Awesome. But what are the stats of sunburn? B434 lists 1d-3 damage after a full day for a light-skinned Caucasian, says albinos become 'near death' and dark-skinned people do not care, all for [0]. Am I supposed to convert those 1d-3 into damage per 4 hours? Does the damage come in all at once for purposes of DR? There doesn't seem to be a way to put the two stats together.

Now, a semi-obscure source - GURPS Update - does give the stats for albino sunburn (1d per 30 minutes), though by that reading, sunblock should halve the rate of damage instead of giving DR2. (I suppose the values are close enough that it's fair anyway.)

Thanks in advance!
