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.
