Adhesive Bead, Cutting
- When reusing an undamaged window, cut the remaining adhesive sealant back to 1 to 2 mm shortly before rebonding.
- Do not damage the primer and ceramic coating at the same time.
- Keep the adhesive surface free of dirt and grease.
- Do not apply activator, glass/paint primer or cleaning solution on the fresh cut adhesive surface.
- The remaining material acts as a base for the new adhesive sealant to be applied.
- Exception: If the bonding is going to be performed longer than one day after cutting back the adhesive bead, then the remaining material must be activated with the Activator.
-- Apply the activator evenly in a single stroke using the Applicator.
CAUTION:
Risk of damaging the paint with the activator.
- Apply activator precisely on the adhesive bead and do not drip.
Drying time is approximately 10 minutes
