Quickly pour the loose welding material powder into

the CADWELD EXOLON mold.
NOTE: Welding material is an exothermic

mixture and reacts to produce hot molten

material with temperatures in excess of 2500

degrees Fahrenheit (1400 degrees Celsius) and

a localized release of smoke. Avoid direct eye

contact with “flash” of light from ignition of

starting material. Avoid inhalation of smoke/

fumes.
