Gage Bonding
To preclude damage to the cable insulation, the adhesive selected should be curable at a temperature of no more than +180 deg F (+80 deg C). Lift the gage end of the gage/tape assembly at a shallow angle to the specimen surface (less than 45 degrees) until the gage is no longer in contact with the surface. Continue lifting the tape until it is free from the surface about 1/2 in (13 mm) beyond the gage. Tuck the loose end of the tape under itself and apply the adhesive according to the instructions provided. Whenever possible, lift the jumper wires from the surface before curing the adhesive. 
After the adhesive has cured, remove the transfer tape by pulling it back directly over itself, peeling it slowly and steadily off the surface. An application of M-LINE RSK-1 Rosin Solvent will quickly soften the mastic and ease tape removal. Then, gently lift the cable and jumper wires and remove the Teflon film .
