The potlife volume is set in either ounces or cc based on
units selected in Advanced Screen 1. Set from 0-999 cc
or 0-33 ounces. If you change the units, this value
updates to the new units. Default is 350 cc (12 oz.).
The volume of the ProMix™ II mix manifold, integrator,

your fluid hose to the gun, use the following information.
