Step 15. Finger-crush the remaining ampoules marked 5 (figure 19). Force the liquid from the two
ampoules through the formed channels to the test spots to insure wetting.
Step 16. Rerub the lewisite detecting tablet with the lewisite tablet rubbing tab (figure 19). Make

difference between the two marks.
