How can I dispense material from a 5 gallon pail more easily?
1. Be sure to read technical bulletin for each Smooth-On product. Some materials require pre-mixing before using.
2. While the container is upright, remove protective cover and cap from the Reike spout with a screwdriver. Pull to remove the plastic seal inside the spout.
3. On a level table, place the 5 gallon container on its side. Make certain that the pour spout is closest to the ceiling (12 o’clock position).
4. Slowly roll the 5-gallon container so that the material begins to flow out of the container in a slow and uniform stream. This will help eliminate air being introduced into the mixture and prevent spillage.
Note: Dispensing the material with the spout located at the bottom (6 o’clock position), the material will flow out of the container very quickly and erratically, resulting in spills.
