problem solution
Plates broken Stack may be too tall. Before clamping, check that
the stack is about 1 mm higher than the top of the
caster edge.
Check that all spacers and plates are aligned before
applying the clamps.
Notched plate ears broken Avoid stressing the ears by only handling the sand-
wiches by the sides and bottom.
Separate sandwiches along the bottom of the stack.
Caster leaks Apply a light film of Gel seal to the gasket each time
the unit is used.
Check the foam gasket for cracks or nicks and replace
if necessary.
If the stack is too tall, the front plate may not seat
firmly against the gasket. Remove filler plates until
the stack seals.
Gel heights uneven Pour the monomer solution into only one sandwich
and allow the groove in the triangular plug to evenly
distribute the solution.
Make sure the groove in the triangular plug is clean
and clear of material.
Wait one minute before overlaying each gel so that
the solution “settles”. Then add the same amount of
overlay solution to each sandwich.
