Megapoxy™ kit (2 part epoxy) - Preparation and Fitment:
a.
Empty contents of both syringes (Black & White) into a cup (Note: that
some plastics may melt).
b.
Using a mixing stick, stir until the colour consistency reaches a dark grey
(no white swirls) – mixing should take no more than 20sec.
6.
Ready to pour:
Make sure the antenna wire with connector is inserted through the hole before pouring
epoxy. Stand the antenna off to the side, so allow the pouring of the epoxy, as shown.
Begin pouring the epoxy in the centre of the mounting area, and spread over the
mounting area quickly. On a flat surface, you may not require the entire mixed
contents.
7.
Placing the antenna:
Gently push the antenna wire though the hole, and allow the antenna to float on the
pool of epoxy. Applying pressure to the top face of the antenna, gently reposition if
required. If suitable, you may wish to pull gently on the antenna wire from the
underside of the surface to ensure the wire lines up correctly with the drilled hole.
Once satisfied with location, apply even pressure to the top surface until the epoxy
squeezes out past each edge/corner of the antenna, being sure not to squeeze all of the
epoxy out (needs to be an epoxy thickness 1-2mm to function correctly).
WARNING
Ensure all safety guidelines are observed when using the provided two-part epoxy
(Megapoxy™
36 Gun
Grade). Read the Caution Notice and Technical Bulletin
provided in this kit, refer to the manufacturers material safety data sheet for
further information (MSDS available on request from distributor). Latex or PVC
gloves (provided) are recommended for this process (not nitrile).
IMPORTANT
The antenna wire must be inserted through drilled hole before pouring epoxy.
Once mixed, epoxy will begin to set very quickly (approx 2-3min), ensure all
steps have been completed, and antenna is ready for mounting prior to mixing.
