REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Remove the damaged retainers or leftover adhesive from the body:
NOTE:
Avoid damaging the paint by applying heat gradually to the retainer.
^ Be careful not to scratch the body.
^ Avoid damaging plastic parts by removing them or covering them with aluminum foil.
^ Using a heat gun, heat the retainer or leftover adhesive to between 212锟斤拷 - 248锟斤拷 (100锟斤拷 - 120锟斤拷C).
^ Use a plastic scraper to loosen the retainer from the body and to scrape off any adhesive.
^ Use pliers to gently pull the retainer clip from the body.
2. Clean the bonding surface on the body with a shop towel dampened with 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. After
cleaning, keep oil, grease, and water from getting on the bonding surface.
3. Prepare the 3M Adhesive:
NOTE:
3M Scotch-Weld DP-100 NS Adhesive is supplied in a dual syringe plastic Duo-Pak cartridge as part of the 3M Scotch-Weld EPX
Applicator system.
^ Insert the Duo-Pak cartridge into the applicator.
^ Using light pressure on the trigger, start the plunger into the cartridges.
^ Remove the Duo-Pak cartridge cap; expel a small amount of adhesive, making sure both sides of the Duo-Pak cartridges are flowing evenly
215
and freely.
^ Attach the EPX mixing nozzle to the Duo-Pak cartridge.
^ Begin dispensing the adhesive.
4. Clean the retainer bonding surface with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry, then apply an even coat of adhesive to the bonding surface.
