NOTES:

It’ important to note that SAFETY is our prime concern therefore we strongly recommend.

Ø To always start at the recommended minimum “START” load.

Ø If at all possible, measure the velocity.

Ø Contact us again with the velocity data, so that we can verify, and correlate with our data.



Thanks for your interest in our powders.

We appreciate your business and interest!!
