Once the adhesive layer for the first fabric side has been fully cured, the sensor will need to be flipped over and the last fabric layer will be adhered to the sensor. It is critical that the sensor be flipped carefully and laid down without any wrinkles or folds.

Slowly peel fabric and silicone from the acrylic sheet from the tray and flip. The elastomer side should now face up. Secure the layers to the acrylic tray with masking tape. |
|
Measure and mix another 20 grams of the elastomer parts A and B for the next layer. |
|
Use the film applicator to cast the final layer of silicone from 20 grams of the elastomer. |
|
|
Place the second layer of fabric on top and use the roller to apply even pressure to adhere the layer. Cure at 70°C for 10 minutes. |
|
The sensor mat is now complete and individual sensors can be cut out of it. |
