Pretreatment
Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean and free of dust, grease or oil. Pooled water should be removed. Substrates must be stable. Remove any contaminants likely to impair adhesion. Before application, mask off the adjacent area with foil or tape, if necessary. Check paint or coatings are firmly attached, if not remove it.
Application
1) Cut off tip of the cartridge above the screw thread. 2) Screw on plastic nozzle and diagonally cut off the tip of the nozzle. 3) Place cartridge into gun. Apply adhesive onto the surface of one of the elements to be bonded: In spots (1) in order to smooth uneven surfaces, in wave-like form (2) for higher initial tack with large surfaces or in straight strands for smaller surfaces (3). In case of outdoor use, apply vertical beads.Release gun after appliance to stop adhesive from flowing (not valid for Foldable Gun (DW111/120).
Important in case of 2 non-absorbent surfaces: Adhesive must not form continuous areas as contact with air/moisture is necessary for adhesive setting. Make sure the adhesive beads do not merge.
Cleaning tools
Fresh adhesive may be cleaned with a cloth soaked in a solvent (alcohol or white spirit). Once fully cured, PL Premium Fixation Crystal can only really be removed by mechanical means (i.e. a chisel or similar tool).
