. Disassemble the vat, dispose of the film and
gaskets, and clean all other parts thoroughly.
Check that any cured resin is removed. The
vat parts will not be damaged by cleaning
solvents.
2. Place the vat bottom film frame.
3. Lay the new piece of film over the vat bottom
film frame. Position it centrally. Grip the film
tightly on either side of one of the long bolts.
Press the film down firmly to puncture it.
4. Move to an adjacent long bolt and press the
film down to puncture it again. Make sure that
the film is under tension as you create the new
hole so that there are no creases.
5. You can use the socket supplied in the
accessory box as a tool for puncturing the film.
The square hole in the top of the socket works
best as it is a close fit over the bolts.
6.
The backing paper supplied with the
replacement film can be placed under the
vat bottom film frame. This will help protect
the film from damage during the rest of the
assembly procedure.
7. Carry out the same procedure for the short
bolts, using the socket to puncture the film.
6. REPLACING
THE VAT FILM
8. Use scissors to cut away a triangular piece
of film outside each of the bolts. Carefully
make two cuts from the edge of the film to the
punched hole.
9. Widen each of the remaining holes by gripping
the edge of the film near each long bolt and
stretching outwards slightly.
10.
Lay the vat bottom gasket (with small holes)
down over all the bolts.
11. Lay the vat top gasket (with small and large
holes) down over all the bolts.
