Firmly compress replica film using the
rounded end of the included stainless steel
burnishing tool. Apply sufficient pressure in
a circular and x-y rubbing motion to
produce a replica with a uniform pebble
grain appearance. It normally takes 30 to
60 seconds to fully compress all parts of
the film on most surfaces. In general, too
much compression is safer than too little.
After burnishing is complete, remove the replica tape from the surface.
Measure
Insert the burnished replica tape
into the measurement opening.
Ensure the tape is properly
positioned so that the burnished
region is centered within the
opening in the probe with the
adhesive (sticky) side down.
