What is the recommended action if an adhesive capsule shows signs of damage?

Use it with caution
Repair it before use
Discard it
Inspect it under a microscope

The correct answer is: Discard it

The recommended action when an adhesive capsule shows signs of damage is to discard it. Damaged adhesive capsules can compromise the integrity of the bond they are intended to create, potentially leading to failures in the anchoring system. Using a damaged product may result in incomplete curing or inadequate bonding strength, which can jeopardize the stability and safety of the installation. Discarding damaged capsules ensures that only quality materials are used in the anchoring process, maintaining compliance with safety standards and structural integrity. This approach promotes accountability in installation practices and supports the overall performance of the anchoring system in its application.
