5. Epoxy Preparation
The supplied epoxy comes in a two-part package. A divider separates the resin from the
hardener. The divider must be removed to allow the epoxy to be mixed. The epoxy is then
loaded into a syringe. Both the epoxy package and the syringe are furnished with the D-182977
(108 338 591) and the D-182983 (108 340 811) Kits of Consumables. See ordering information
in Section 10 of this manual.

uniform
color.
