For watery solvents and cyanoacrylates, request the blue EFD LV Barrier piston, available in 3cc and 10cc sizes. If you are dispensing an RTV silicone and find that the piston bounces and causes stringing, request the EFD orange, flat wall piston. Filling procedure for pourable...

Hints Helpful Hints 1. There are three core variables to the Ultra 1400 dispenser: time, pressure and vacuum. Adjust just one of these at a time, in small increments, to achieve the correct deposit. 2. Another variable is tip size. Choose the right tip for the deposit type. Remember, smaller tips require more pressure and more time.
