GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
2. FILLING THE CANISTERS
A. CANISTER CAPACITY
The canister has a capacity of six quarts and it is recommended that on the
initial filling a minimum of two quarts of colorant be added to the canister.
The maximum capacity of the dispensing pumps is one and five ounces.
B. COLORANTS
THE COLORANTS SHOULD BE PROPERLY BLENDED BEFORE
PUTTING THEM IN THE CANISTERS (OR AS OTHER-WISE
RECOMMENDED BY THE COLORANT MANUFACTURER).
It is
important that a colorant be uniform in consistency before being added to
the canister.
C. PAINT MIXER
A paint mixer is the best method for thorough blending of the colorants before
adding them to the canisters (unless otherwise recommended by the colorant
manufacturer). The actual mixing time depends on the individual colorant.
However, the minimum time should be one minute.
D.
HANDSTIRRING
If a paint mixer is not available, hand stirring will suffice provided the
colorant is mixed thoroughly.
E. AIR REMOVAL
After the colorants have been poured into the canisters, either on the initial
fill or a refill, it is recommended that they be agitated again in the
canister. Entrapped air will rise to the surface and be expelled during this
operation. In the case of a refill, this will also blend the additional colorants.
