   2. To activate the capsule, push the plunger until it is flush with main body (Fig. 3).
      
   3. Immediately place the capsule into a metal GC Capsule Applier and click the lever once (Fig. 4). The capsule is now activated.
      
      Note:
      The capsule should be activated just before mixing and used immediately.
   4. Immediately remove the capsule and set it into a mixer (an amalgamator) and mix for 10 seconds at high speed (+/-4,000 RPM) (Fig. 5).
      
3. RESTORATIVE TECHNIQUE
   1. Immediately remove the mixed capsule from the mixer and load it into the GC Capsule Applier.
   2. Click twice to prime the capsule then syringe (Fig. 6).
      
      The working time is 3 minutes 15 seconds from start of mixing at 23°C (73.4°F). Higher temperatures will shorten working time.

   6. Light-cure for 20 seconds using a suitable visible light curing device (470nm wavelength) (Fig. 8). Place light source as close as possible to the cement surface.
      
      Note:
      For cavities deeper than 1.8 mm, use a layering technique.
4. FINISHING
   Finish under water spray using superfine diamond bur, silicone point and polishing strips (Fig. 9).
