Materials Needed

 -Scintillator Plates
 -Mylar
 -Black Plastic
 -Opaque large roll tape
 -Dielectric tape
 -Electrical tape
 -Base
 -White optical gloves
 

1) Put on white optical gloves

2) Place paddle on top of one layer of black plastic.

3) Remove any remaining material on plate, making sure the plate is totally clean, by taking (touching lightly) with sticky side of protection paper.  This will also remove grease and finger prints.

4) Peel the paper away from the scintillator plate. Take off any remaining material on plate, making sure the plate is totally clean

5) Wrapping the plate in mylar. A little wrinkling is good. Just imagine wrapping a present.

6) Wrapping the plate in black plastic. Cut the lengths so that you can wrap the plastic length strips around plate.  Give about 2 inches of over lapping plastic and tape the seams with light tight tape.

7) There needs to be 3 similar pieces of black plastic to wrap around the plate width size.  After wrapping the 3 pieces there will be a gap that needs to be covered with a trapezoid shape piece of plastic.

8) Cover the edges and seams with light tight tape. When connecting the base with the PMT you need to locate the wide spacing between the holes in the base. and  connect it to the proper space in the PMT.

9) Use a piece of dielectric tape between the base and PMT before light tighting to prevent sparks.

10) Wrap with light tight tape, the handle up to the first hole in the base.

11) Look over the plate to look for any areas that could emit light.

12) Test your plate to see if it is light tight.
