The adhesives under this system are
toxic and may be irritating to the
skin. Work only in well-ventilated
areas and avoid bodily contact with
adhesives.
(1)
(Refer to Table 2-5 for list of acceptable

Add one capsule (2.4 grams) of catalyst
(item 48, Table 2-5) to cement resin and stir resin until
capsule is completely dissolved.
NOTE
This mixture can be kept usable for a
period not to exceed 24 hours by
refrigeration at 40°F (4°C) or lower.
(7)
Place 5-cubic-centimeters of promoter
(Item 121, Table 2-5) into a dean container.
WARNING
Do not mix promoter directly with
catalyst as a violent reaction will
result.
The
cement
contains
chemicals which may irritate the
skin. If contact with skin is made,
wash the area immediately with
