Placing clean hot capping steel on can and melting solder into groove. drives out the air which will cause the can to bulge, giving it the same appearance as when spoilage has occurred. After exhausting, the cans are removed from the sterilizer and the vent hole is closed. The cans are re- turned to the sterilizer and sterilized, follow- ing the time-table given on page 2. At the end of the sterilization period remove cans and plunge immediately into cold water. Do not stack cans closely until cold. After packing, label each can by writing the name of contents on the side. If in- tended for sale affix a label just before shipping. Do not allow paste to touch the can, as it will cause the tin to rust. The label should be large enough to encircle the can and over- lap at the edges. Put the paste on one of the overlapping edges and draw label tightly around can, pasting the two edges together. To seal, wipe top of can clean and dry and then put the cap in place, applying flux carefully to the groove. Do not allow the flux to enter can, as it is poisonous. Hold the cap in place with the center rod and lower the hot capping iron squarely and firmly on the solder rim of the cap, or melt a little solder in the groove by holding the solder wire against the lower part of the capping steel. Revolve the iron to melt the solder and seal the can. Lift the capping iron with a sudden twist, holding the center rod in place. When solder has hardened remove center rod. To tip, dry top of can and apply flux to the hole in the center of the cap. Hold the solder in the left hand, brush it with the hot tipping iron so only a bead will drop and close hole. The steels must be kept clean and well coated with solder. To do t
