** Once you have collected all the necessary equipment you can begin setting up for gluing. First and foremost, PUT ON GLOVES. Now, take out several kim wipes and place them under the digital scale, the waist container, the resin and catalyst, and on anything that could have unwanted chemicals spilled on.  Set 3 or 4 tongue depressors, and 3 or 4 pipettes, off to the side of your workstation so that they are not in the way but easily accessible.  Pour some Acetone or Isopropanol in your waist container for quick cleaning.  Inspect all glassware make sure that they are completely clean.  If you find glassware that is not clean, clean it using Acetone and then wait at least 10 minutes before using the glassware.  Now that you are all set up you can begin gluing.
