Follow these instructions COMPLETELY to avoid compromising the fit you achieve with this product.
Important Notes:
• Use the minimal amount of PodFitKit silicon to hold your earbud in place. (PodFitKit includes extra silicon for a second try.) Ideally, your finished earbuds should look like the ones in this picture.
• PodFitKit does not adhere to the earbud.
• Do not press PodFitKit silicon too hard onto speaker. If you do, the silicon may fill the speaker vent holes.
• Use of PodFitKit can affect the sound characteristics of your earbuds if you force the earbuds or PodFitKit into your ear canal.
• Several factors affect cure time. Allow the PodFitKit to cure longer if still pliable.
Your PodFitKit was shipped with canisters of light gray and white silicone that must be mixed according to the following instructions to properly mold to your earbuds and to the shape of your ear.
Step 1:
Clean your ears and the earbuds, and wash your hands thoroughly. Have a mirror (or willing assistant) ready before beginning.Step 2:
Gently remove the light gray material from the container and divide into two equal portions. One portion will be used for your first earbud. Store the second portion in the same container; it will be used for your second earbud. Repeat for the white material. Keep the light gray and white materials separated until ready to begin the molding process, since mixing the two will start the curing process.Step 3:
Knead together the light gray and white portions for one earbud until thoroughly mixed (about 2 minutes) and roll mixture into a uniform ball. This begins the curing process. Immediately proceed to steps 4-5.Step 4:
Place the first earbud in your ear, in the normal way. Then gently apply a minimal amount of silicon to hold the earbud in place. Apply light pressure so the material forms a cast, contours to the ear and holds the earbud securely. Once a uniform, consistent form is achieved, let cure for a minimum of 10 minutes in the ear.Step 5:
Any excess material not needed to form mold and hold earbud comfortably in place can be pinched off before totally cured and discarded. A mirror (or willing assistant) is helpful to render a smooth outer surface and finished look. DO NOT REMOVE PLUG FROM THE EAR FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES. Once cured, gently remove plug by slowly twisting and pulling from top of formed plug. It is recommended the finished ear plug cure an additional three hours before storing in storage bag, however, plug can be used after the 10 minute molding process. A properly formed PodFitKit will have a smooth outer surface, closely contour to the ear and fit snugly.Step 6:
Repeat the above steps with the remaining light gray and white material for your other earbud.Use only as directed. Do not use with latex gloves. Adult supervision required for children. Read and follow all instructions. Do not remove earbud or PodFitKit for a minimum of 10 minutes after forming in the ear. Mold material must cure fully before removing from ears. Do not force mold material into ear canal. Do not elongate mold material. Misuse or improperly following instructions may lead to serious injury. Keep out of reach of children. Not responsible for misuse. Do not eat.
