has to be done before attaching the pedestals
1. Find ARclad glue sheet and high or low pedestals (inner and outer radius) 2. Cut ARclad glue sheet to match the pedestal shape (see below) Also cut holes where the alignment pins go. 3. Remove the plastic sheet of the ARclay glue sheet on one side and attach the glue to the pedestal 4. Top plate should be in lowered position (the brass knob turns and clicks into either raised or lowered position). Put thermal mounts in position (each one is located by the small precision pin and a larger pin) 5. Remove the other plastic sheet and put on the wedge aligned with holes quickly. 6. Turn on the vacuum pump 7. Wait for 10 minutes and turn off the pump. 8. Raise the top plate to lift the assembly off the alignment pins. 9. Check the pedestal. | |

was on a 1" wide roll.
