Directions To Use
DOSING AND MIXING –
- Pour the content in the bag into an airtight container. The container has to be stored in a temperature of 5-27 degree C/ 41-80 degree F.
- Using the dosing spoon scoop out the powder into a rubber cup without compressing, level it off by passing a flat spatula over the top of the spoon.
- Repeat the process until you have the required quantity.
- Masure out 1/3rd of water (18ml) for every spoonful of powder (9g).
- Add the water and mix it according to the time specified in the table below.
- Spread the material on the impression tray and insert into the mouth before the end of the working time.
- Wait till the end of the time in mouth for the material to harden. Since Tropicalgin is chromatic, it is easier to identify the complete working phases.
Zhermack recommends ALGHAMIX II for the best homogenous and bubble free mixing of the material.
