Priming the Mold

Before dispensing recoat material, it is necessary to fill the recoat material bottle with recoat material and prime the
recoat mold. Priming the recoat mold will make it easier to dispense the exact right amount of acrylate material
when recoating a fiber, and it will eliminate air bubbles that may be trapped in the recoat material. Refer to Chapter
7 for instructions on performing these steps.
