obtained. Use micro only as specifically shown - never use micro
between glass layers.

Always use the following method to join foam blocks. This is extremely
important.
1. Check that the foam blocks fit closely together.
If there are voids over 1/16 inch, sand to fit, or
fill the void with a sliver of foam.
2. Paint a light coat of micro slurry on both
surfaces. If joining foam to fiberglass, paint
pure mixed epoxy (no microspheres) on the
fiberglass surface and micro slurry on the foam
surface.
3. Refer to the sketch and trowel wet or dry micro in
the center of the joint. Thus when joined the
micro is pushed outward expelling (rather than
trapping) air. If the fit is excellent use dry
micro.
4. Push the two pieces together, wiggling each to
move the micro toward the surfaces. Be sure the
micro is no thicker than 0.1 inch at any place, to
avoid exotherm. Wipe off any excess. Do not be
concerned if the micro does not completely reach
the surface. That void can be filled immediately
before skinning the part.
