4. Weigh out the required amount of AY103 into the clean mixing pot (the ratio of
AY103 to HY991 is 5 parts to 1, a standard insert uses 3-4 ml of the resulting
mixture). This can simply be poured from the tin (being careful to clean up any mess
using the tissues).
5. Weigh out the required amount of HY991 into the same pot, it is best to use a spatula
for this.
6. Stir the mixture using a stirring stick until it is homogenous (a few minutes)
7. Allow the mixture to settle for 10 minutes while you clean the area, the stirring stick
and the spatula using IPA tissues.
8. Place the pot in the vacuum chamber and reduce the pressure to around 30 Pa, or as
low as it can go without the mixture “frothing” over the top of the pot (be warned that
it increases dramatically in volume and is hard to clean)
9. Allow the mixture to settle for around 10 minutes
