ASSEMBLY
Remove plastic clip from Hysol® adhesive pack.
1) Mix for five minutes in bag.
2) Pour entire contents into cup.
3) Squeegee remaining epoxy into cup.
4) Continue to thoroughly stir epoxy in cup.
Use glue brush to coat the inside of the foil for one or two
inches. Coat 1/2 of the outside of the connector with epoxy
and slowly insert the connector into the foil. Work the con-
nector in and out as you insert it to adhere the epoxy without
dry spots on the inside of the foil. As excess epoxy comes off
the connector, clean it up using the acid brush. Use excess
to coat feeder area of connector. Clean up the end of the foil
using paper towel wetted with acetone taking care that no
epoxy is in the sail grooves.
