Pour liquid up to the line in the mixing toe. One capful of liquid is approximately 25 ml.
Pour powder into the rest of the mixing toe, approximately 50 grams of powder. Do not fill toe completely; leave room for mixing. Use mixing stick to gently push powder into liquid. Once a majority of powder is in liquid, mix quickly. Use stick to push substance to the top of the mixing toe. Slide wood block into the bottom of the mixing toe. Use mixing stick to pull mixture onto block 3/4 of the way leaving about an inch of block exposed.
Quickly apply block to good claw using mixing toe as a guide around hoof. Be sure to not press too hard, leaving about 3/16 of an inch of glue in between the claw and block. Use the mixing toe to smooth excess glue around the claw to help hold the block on.
Keep the hoof in the air for 2 to 3 minutes allowing it to dry and harden. Release hoof quickly allowing cow to put weight entirely on the block. Allow cow to adjust weight to the block for a few seconds to make sure block stays on. Release cow from holding chute. The block can be removed when the injured toe is healed. Do not leave block on for more than 6 to 8 weeks.
