3. Place the front (outer, long) glass plate onto the IPC and spacers with the siliconized or
coated surface facing down.
• With both hands, stand the IPC/glass plate sandwich on the benchtop with the outer
glass plate facing away from you.
• Allow the glass plates and spacers to touch the benchtop, to temporarily align the
assembly for gel casting.
4. Slide the clamps over the IPC assembly.
• The levers of the clamps should be on the IPC panel side of the assembly and need to
be facing away from the unit (perpendicular to the IPC panel) for the clamps to slide
easily onto the assembly. Secure the clamps to the IPC/glass plate sandwich by
moving the levers toward the IPC panel (Figure 4.2).
