SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Foil Adhesive TFG 301 should be mixed in clean vessels using clean mixing blades and utensils. Any contamination from other ink sources or non-approved additives could make Foil Adhesive TCG 301 test positive for restricted PVC's. Use retarder MG 1-5% to help with open time in the screen. Use thickener B .25-1% to help thicken the ink.
