MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
- Premix contents of each container before use to insure uniformity. Some light settling may occur, but it will be soft and easily reincorporated.
- Measure our equal volume or weight of each component and mix together thoroughly. Be careful to scrape sides and bottom of container to incorporate all unmixed material, or serious loss of physical and electrical properties will result.
- De-air (if necessary) at 29 in. Hg for 10 minutes.
- Pour into cavity or mold.
- Recover both containers immediately after each use to prevent contamination.
CURE SCHEDULE:
Room temperature 12-16 hours at room temperature (72°F).
To accelerate cure, allow 2 hours at room temperature (72°F), then 130°F for 2 hours.

HEALTH CAUTION:
Avoid breathing possible fumes, mists and vapors which can cause severe respiratory damage. Use of NIOSH approved breathing apparatus is required for more than minimal exposure. Always work in areas with adequate ventilation to allow dissipation of polyamine and other chemical fumes, and where applicable, solvent fumes. Use of goggles, protective garments, rubber gloves, protective cream is required. If material gets into eyes, flush thoroughly with clear water for twenty (20) minutes; then seek medical treatment. Avoid skin contact. Material can cause contact dermatitis. Always wash exposed areas immediately, using warm water and soap, followed by rinsing with clean water. Observe all safety precautions. It is important when using solvent based materials or solvents to keep away from open flame or ignition source.
