When this is done you can proceed to the regular preparation. This is done by scrubbing the surface with alcohol and
wiping it dry. At this point you will need to test the surface again to see if you have achieved a tack. Apply a new strip of
masking tape to the surface. If it adheres you have done a good job, if it doesn’t then you must perform the wash again
and again if necessary until you have achieved a nice tack. Once a tack has been achieved swipe the entire surface to be
mounted with the adhesive promoter you will receive with any of our stainless steel kits. This promoter is not a cleaner
but an adhesive accelerator when used on a nice clean and well prepared surface this chemical will create a very reliable
bondable surface.
2. Now that all preparations have been made the next step will be to apply the accessory. In almost all cases it
will be very necessary to pre-shape the stainless part so that it conforms to the surface you are mounting it to, perfectly.
This is done by gently shaping the part by hand a little at a time so that when the part is placed in position it matches the
surface without having to apply pressure anywhere on the part to make it fit the shape of the surface. In other words it
will look like it has been installed perfectly, before you actually peel and stick it. If you take your time when forming the
part you will never have any problems with the part popping off in the future.
3. Now that you have a good surface prep and your part or parts have been hand shaped to match the surface
you can peel the red release liner from the back of the part. Keep in mind that the adhesive is very aggressive and it will
not allow you to reposition it once it has made contact with the surface. So go slow and sure. Once all hole and the
perimeters are lined up, set the part in place pressing firmly along the entire surface to bond the part and then remove
the protective liner. The bond will become permanent after twenty-four hours.
If you have any questions during installation, please call American Car Craft at 727.861.1500.
