"Plan your glassware assembly in an uncluttered space with easy access to components."
"Use the least amount of clamps possible, interjoint glassware can provide it's own rigidity and stability."
"Assemble from the bottom up."
"Fasten all clamps loosely first with the exception of the lowest clamp: then when alignment is correct carefully close the clamps."
"Never apply force to an assembly, this will create breakage, cracks, leakage and improper function."
"Clean your glassware after use and don't store reaction products in your round bottom flasks."
"Be watchful of thermometers rolling off the desk, or round bottom flasks. Use a support such as a beaker or cork ring."
"When conducting vacuum procedures, carefully inspect for star or hairline cracks. "
"To seal joints place small dots of grease around the upper end of the male joint (cone), then rotate the mated joint to form a sealing band. Add additional bands if needed. Never coat the entire joint."
