Use
• After use leave the mixing nozzle in place on the cartridge to act
as a seal.
• Each time the fl ow of compound is stopped for a period longer
than the working life (see cartridge) a new nozzle must be used.
Removal of Cartridge
• Push slide release lever and pull the piston slide to its back
position. Lift the cartridge clip and remove the cartridge.
Cleaning of the Surface
The area to be examined should be clean and degreased. Use
cotton wool and a solvent.
• Alcohol will normally be suffi cient for metallographic applications.
• Engineering surfaces should be degreased using a suitable
solvent like acetone.
• Make sure that the solvent has evaporated completely before
application of the compound.
Note: RepliSet will not cure if residues of grease or solvents are
left on the surface or retained in inclusions.
