Preparing Bodywork for Adhesive

Preparing Bodywork for Adhesive

- Remove any adhesive residue left by the double-sided tape using adhesive remover (VAS 6349).

- The PUR adhesive points are cut down to approximately 2 - 3 mm without damaging the paint.

- It is not necessary to clean the cutting surface.

• The remaining material serves as a base for the new adhesive sealant being applied.

- Following the cleaning instructions for adjacent components. Refer to => [ Cleaning Instructions ] Cleaning Instructions.

- Immediately mount the new special attachments with the adhesive points on the specified positions.

If bodywork is being worked on or is partially replaced, it must be cleaned and primed again after painting the corresponding area.

Exception: If the bonding is going to be performed longer than one day after cutting back the adhesive bead, then then remaining material must be activated with the activator (D 181 801 A1).

Apply the activator evenly and in one wiping motion using the applicator (D 009 500 25).

Do not let the activator come in contact with the paint because this will damage the paint.

Drying time is approximately 10 minutes.
