Frequently asked questions

How should I disinfect the couplers?
Use a compatible solvent and wipe it dry with a cloth.

Can I use different couplers than the specified ones?
No, use only ARD002008 couplers to ensure compatibility.

How long do I need to wait for the paste to dry?
Wait at least 24 hours before using the mechanism.
