- If needed, clean the Tender Descender with isopropanol and the rag. This needs to be done after each firing to remove the spent black powder residue.
- Put the Tender Descender string through one of the Quicklinks so it stays attached to our stuff after firing
- Ensure Quicklinks are tightened - it will be hard to turn the nut after they're integrated.
- Put the two Quicklinks (one of which now has the string through it) into the Tender Descender
- Put the bridge piece into the Tender Descender, unifying all of the components that have been used so far.
- Using a funnel, pour the pre-measured black powder charge into the small hole in the base of the Tender Descender. Pour slowly to avoid the funnel clogging.
- Wrap ~5 turns of Teflon Tape around the FireBolt. Generally go a little light rather than a little heavy. If too much tape is on, the FireBolt may not be able to drive far enough into the body.
- Screw the FireBolt into the Tender Descender, finger-tight. You definitely don't want more than ~4 threads of screw to be exposed.
- Attach Tender Descender to rest of system. Unscrew the system's Quicklinks, not the Tender Descender's, because again, it's hard to undo the TD's Quicklinks.
- When connecting the E-match to the firing system, ensure that the wires are well-gapped to avoid shorts.
