resin, forcing it through the center seal and into
BLACK SIDE.
4. Mix thoroughly to a uniform color by squeezing
contents back and forth 25-30 times.
5. Squeeze mixed, warm resin into one end of bag and
cutoff other end.
6. Slowly insert wiring connections into sealing pack
until they fit snugly against the opposite end as
shown in C.
7. Twist open end of bag and use tie wrap to close it off
and position the tie wrapped end up until the resin
jells.
