rs to specification immediately. Do not break
the bond once the components are mated.
7. When not using the adhesive, leave the mixer needle
at
tached to the cartridge.
8. If the needle has sat idle for any amount of time,
simply re
move the needle, and repeat steps 2 through
4 to apply adhesive to additional components.

The bonded parts can be repositioned by gently sliding
them into position. Never pull the parts apart. Doing so
will introduce air gaps and will require removing the
parts, and removing all adhesive.
Do not manually mix the adhesive and accelerator.
Always use a mixing needle to apply the adhesive.
