An epoxy resin was used successfully as a cement and as a construction nnaterial in experimental investigations at temperatures below 1 deg K. The cured resin capsules were nonmagnetic, electrically insulated, and could be machined to specific dimensions. Heating was unnecessary in constructing the capsules and many electrical leads could be brought out. Seals formed by the resin to join two pieces of cast resin, or cast resin to metal, or two pieces of glass were all vacuum tight, even in the presence of liquid helium below 2.18 deg K. (L.N.N.)
