PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

>  When working with epoxy, make sure the area is 

  well-ventilated, wear nitrile gloves and use an applicator. 

  Avoid contact with skin or clothing.

>  Excessive heat buildup during drilling could lead to 

  cracking of the blank sections. To minimize heat buildup, 

  drill about 1/4"-1/2" at a time, regularly backing out the bit 

  to clear the chips. Also, stop 1/8" short of the end of the 

  blank sections to prevent blowout.

>  Do NOT use cyanoacrylate (CA) glue. As it cures, it will 

  leave an unsightly residue on the inside of the Tubes and 

  the dial of the Hygrometer.
