PASTE HANDLING & STORAGE

STORAGE

bulletStore paste in an area shielded from extreme heat and cold. Ambient temperatures from 40o F to 72o F are recommended.
bulletDo not store near open flames or sources of high heat.
bulletRotate paste stock, using "first in/first out" procedure. Nominal shelf life period is six (6) months for paste in the jars, three (3) months for cartridges.

STIRRING

bulletBefore loading paste into reservoir, gently stir with a spatula using a lifting motion to insure complete homogeneity. This mixing should be done even if no separation or layering is apparent. Metal spatulas should be avoided because they can cut bits of plastic from the container and leave them in the paste. DO NOT MIX WITH POWER MIXER WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH THE FACTORY.
bulletDo not attempt to thin paste with outside diluents! Adverse chemical reactions may occur!

PROPER USE

bulletRead and understand the product MSDS before use.
bulletKeep paste jar sealed until time to use. If jar's contents not completely emptied, tighten lid to prevent extended air exposure. (For best results, paste should be used within a week of opening sealed jar.)
bulletDo not re-use paste jar when empty.
bulletUse minimum paste pressure (in Dispensing system), and the shortest length of paste hose. Use largest possible diameter nozzle, which has the shortest extension length.
bulletSolder or braze in a well ventilated area.
bulletWash paste from skin with soap and water, or waterless hand cleaner.
