Catalyst in dasher rod with base in cartridge
Step 7
7. To mix, hold the cartridge and push
the dasher rod to the bottom of cartridge
against the plunger. Do not force the
dasher rod against the plunger, as this
may expel the plunger, or cause air en-
trapment in the cartridge. Begin stroking
the dasher rod in a spiral clockwise
motion from the plunger end of the
cartridge to the neck end of the cartridge.
Rotate the dasher rod approximately 90°
with each push or pull of the dasher.
A stroke is one complete in and out cycle,
with approximately 180° clockwise turn
of the dasher. For the first 3 to 5 strokes,
keeping the ramrod inserted into the
dasher rod may prevent material from
flowing back into the dasher rod during
mixing. Mix for the total number of
strokes or time indicated on the instruc-
tion card accompanying each Semkit
package or as noted on the product label.
On the last stroke the dasher rod should
be pushed to the plunger end of the
cartridge, taking care not the push the
plunger.

cartridge. There should be no accelerator
component left in the dasher rod. A small
amount of residue around the walls or
piston is acceptable. Do not discard the
dasher rod until verification of mix has
been performed in step 12.
