Precautions for Working on Glass

Precautions for Applying Primer

- Primer has an important role to enhance adhesion effect of adhesive. Primer to use for body adhesive and that for glass adhesive are different. Be sure to use appropriate one. (Do not use gauze or nozzle used for one type for another.)
- Put masking tape to instrument panel and other parts to protect them against primer.
- Shake primer container well before opening it and apply primer evenly.
- Do not apply primer to body surface where adhesive still remains.
- If primer is attached to any place other than intended area by mistake, remove it immediately using white gasoline.
- Be sure to refer to primer maker's instruction for proper handling and drying time.

Precautions for Applying Adhesive

- Install glass within five minutes after applying adhesive.
- Adjust adhesive nozzle so that you can apply adhesive to "Shape of Adhesive" specified in section for installation of each glass.
- If adhesive is attached to any place other than intended area by mistake, remove it immediately using white gasoline.
- After applying adhesive to windshield, keep windows open when opening and closing door and do not apply any impact to the windshield until the adhesive is completely dry.
- Do not drive the vehicle until adhesive is fully hardened.
- Do not force the adhesive to dry by using infrared light or the like.
