Figure 3 - Tools Menu. C. Purge the Recoat Pump After filling or removing the internal recoat bottle, the recoat pump must be purged of air in order to eliminate any bubbles in the final recoat. Five (5) purge cycles are required to pump material completely through the pump and remove any air.
III. Using the System A. Load the Fiber 1. If the recoat mold is not already opened, do so by using the "mold open" command under the tools menu. 2. Raise the tops on both the left and right fiber holding blocks. Note: As long as one of the fiber holding block tops is raised vacuum will be applied to the fiber guides.

Figure 5: Edit Proof Test Menu C. Proof Test 1. Check the Proof Test parameters by selecting the edit proof test icon. The parameters are defined as follows: Fiber Dia: The diameter of the fiber in microns ( m). This diameter is required to calculate the units of kpsi and GPa.
IV. Shutting Down A. Store the Unit To keep the recoat mold clean and to prevent possible curing of the recoat material in the inject port, we recommend "storing" the mold as follows: 1. Clean both front and back recoat mold plates thoroughly with a soft cotton swab wetted with acetone. 2.
