Mix nozzles are intended for one-time use. DO NOT attempt to flush a mix nozzle with solvent and reuse it
later.
Do not attempt to express material with a pneumatic applicator at pressures higher than recommended (50 PSI
for the 50 mL dispenser; 58 PSI for 200 mL dispenser, 70 PSI for 400 mL dispenser) or cartridge damage may
occur.
Storing the used cartridges tip up will encourage any entrapped air bubbles to float to the tip of the cartridge,
where they can be expelled prior to attaching a nozzle.
Acrylic adhesives are prone to cure at the tip and the cured material may bond quite strongly to the cartridge.
Storing these adhesives tip down may reduce mixing accelerator and base at the tip and reduce the incidence of
cartridge clogging at the tip unless using the new split dispensing tip style (45 mL and 490 mL) acrylic
cartridges.
