Do <br />not heat above <br />807 (27'C)1 See <br />fig. 1.6.6. In <br />some cases, hard- <br />eners may crystal- <br />lize. If this occurs, refer to the instructions provid- <br />ed in each kit. <br />b. Empty all of the <br />contents of the <br />hardener bottle <br />into the can of <br />base adhesive (see <br />Fig. 1.6.7). <br />Mix all of the ad- <br />hesive with all of <br />the hardener. <br />NEVER SPLIT A <br />KR Do not spill <br />hardener during <br />the mixing process.
