Don't worry it's not required. You can push both components out with a screwdriver or similar onto a piece of card and then mix with a screwdriver or spatular. It's best to mix extra and keep it to one side to see when it's cured. Then leave a day after that. Be patient. Once mixed it's really up to you how you apply it, for the frame I would probably use a lolly stick and put it on the lug and in the tube. Preparation is really important, just make sure it's all well degreased. Use a lint free cloth and the strongest solvent degreaser you can find (white spirit will do) but don't let it air dry as it will leave a film. Keep wiping the area until it's dry with the same cloth (a bit like cleaning your windows with window cleaner until all the smears have gone) Any excess glue can be removed after with the solvent and cloth.
Hope this helps.
