USE INSTRUCTIONS:

 

1.        Premix material in the original container prior to use to insure any settled filler may be reincorporated.

2.        Weigh out the required amount of PC 135.

3.        Measure out the appropriate amount of material (Part A and Part B)

4.        Mix thoroughly, scraping both sides and bottom of container.

5.        Evacuate mixture at 29 in. Hg for 5- 10 minutes.

6.        Pour into mold or cavity.
