Place the laminated gasket into the casting cradle
(See Fig 4) with the foam side down. Place the clamp
assembly in the casting cradle, screw side facing out.

Insert a cam into the hole on each side of the casting
tray with the ridge (short end) pointing up. Seal the
gel sandwich against the casting gasket by turning
both cams as far as needed, usually 90° to 150°, up
to 180°. The cam action presses the plates down into
the gasket to seal the bottom of the sandwich. The
seal is complete once the glass edge appears darker
and nearly transparent against the gasket. Do not turn
the cam past this point.

Note: When turning the cams,
it is easier to keep the caster
balanced if you turn both toward
the center of the caster.
