Gage Bonding Place a generous drop of adhesive at the junction of the specimen and tape. 
Promptly fold the gauze sponge into quarters. 
Free the end of the cellophane tape and hold it with light tension at a shallow angle to the specimen. With the folded sponge, wipe the adhesive under the terminal and strain gage, and continue wiping with a single motion well past the gage location. 
Immediately place your thumb over the gage and apply firm but comfortable, steady pressure for a minimum of one minute. 
Remove the thumb with a twisting motion. Leave the tape in place at least two more minutes.
