ML-KITINSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING  MagneLite  ROCKET MOTOR IGNITERS.
NOTE: For best results use only ML igniter wires with this pyrogen.  Avoid mixing or dipping igniters on a day that exceeds 80% relative humidity.  *Ohm check all igniter wires before dipping.

CAUTION:  First and foremost think safety.  You should only mix these chemicals in a well ventilated area away from any heat source or sparks.  To maintain a good seal for long term storage keep the lid tight and sealing surfaces free from any unused pyrogen.  The use of eye protection is highly recommended.  Never allow small children near these chemicals.  Wear only cotton clothing and a long sleeve shirt to protect your arms in case of a flash fire.  Always use a remote firing device when test firing.  Once mixed, never store this product inside an inhabited area.  Store this product in an environment that will be maintained between -20 to 140 degrees F.  Wash hands thoroughly after each use.  Never double dip or use a sealer on this rocket motor igniter as this will cause to thick of a film to adhere to the igniter element wire and upon ignition it will most likely POP rather than ignite! *Resistance readings before dipping should be around 0.8 of an ohm (+) or (-) 0.2 of an ohm.  Dispose of any leftover unwanted pyrogen in accordance with all applicable laws.  This product contains magnesium powder, in the event of a fire it will burn at 5,400 degrees F, never attempt to extinguish!  Instead, run away as fast as you can!
 
1.) Shake the glass bottle (A) containing the inactive pyrogen back and forth for several seconds then place the bottle on a flat level surface and remove the cap.  Using the provided wooden stick, stir the contents until well mixed.  Once mixed leave the wooden stir stick in the bottle.
  
2.) Next, after first shaking for a few seconds, remove the cap from the plastic bottle (B) containing the white powdery oxidizer.  Then cut out the bottom of the provided paper cup (about a 1/2 inch from the end) and use this as a funnel.   Place the funnel over and down the wooden stir stick until it rest on top of the glass jar containing the pyrogen.  Next,    add half of the oxidizer to the pyrogen at a time and stir the oxidizer into the pyrogen using the provided wooden stir stick.  Continue the stirring process for at least a couple of minutes after bottle B has been completely emptied.  
Note: Using the provided plastic pipette add 1ml at a time of thinner (bottle D) during this process to maintain proper consistency.      
 
3.) VERY IMPORTANT: The pyrogen should now have the consistency of Hershey’s chocolate syrup at room temperature.  When you remove the wooden coffee stir, the pyrogen that is clinging to it should quickly run off.  If the pyrogen appears too thick, take the provided pipette and draw up 1ml of thinner (Acetone) and add it to the mixture.  Keep adding 1ml at a time until the pyrogen reaches the proper consistency.  If you add too much thinner and the pyrogen becomes too thin or runny just leave the lid off of the bottle for as long as necessary while occasionally stirring the mixture until the pyrogen thickens to the right consistency.      
 
4.)  Now take the igniter wire in your hand (do not unwrap it yet) and bend the protruding element end 45 degrees away from the main body of the wire lead, making a V shape.  Next, lower the igniter wire into the pyrogen until the pyrogen coats all of the exposed element wire. You can continue to lower the igniter wire beyond this point if you feel you need more.  Now lift the igniter slowly out of the pyrogen.  Once you have cleared the pyrogen in the bottle gently shake the igniter wire up and down in a rapid fashion several times until one or two drops of pyrogen fall off the igniter head and back into the bottle.  NOTE: If you see more than two drops of pyrogen fall from the igniter the pyrogen is too thin.  Also, you should stir the pyrogen every 2 minutes during the dipping process to prevent the magnesium from settling to the bottom.  Place the igniter down on the edge of a table. Cure out times range from 1 to 2 hours depending on whether you have folded the igniter wire onto itself.  *See the note below for more details.

*NOTE:  If there is room in the core of the rocket motor you may wish to increase the amount of pyrogen on the end of the igniter by folding about   an inch of the wire back onto itself, making a shape similar to the letter U.  After folding the wire squeeze the wire together.  You will notice that there is a slight gap in the very end of the lead wire where your fold started; you want this as it will hold extra pyrogen.  If you feel you need to fold the wire an additional time make sure you fold it in such a way so that the element wire is to the outside otherwise the igniter may POP rather than ignite.  In other words do not sandwich the element wire between the lead wires.
