Helpful Hints:
• hen using structural adhesives, read directions and information on label carefully since all products do not ork similarly.
• Make sure the adhesive is designed for the type of bond you intend to perform, or you may end up ith a poor result.
• Do not grind the excess adhesive ush before the material has reached hardness and room temperature, you ill create excessive pinholes and tearing
back of edges (poor featheredge).
• Be careful of temperature and humidity re uirements for curing. ith some adhesives for curing occurs best ith forced heating, do so other ise you may
spend considerable time waiting for results.
• For greater success al ays use Plastic Cleaner and Plastic Primer.

Assessment of Damage:
• Server cases of structural damage should be replaced and not repaired.
• Moderate or light cases of structural damage can be repaired successfully, the determining factor being that the restored part must be able to ithstand
the same stress and abuse as the original part number.
• Non structural damage can be repaired uite simply, as the damage us often cosmetic.
• Remember if unsure of the plastic, testing of the products on scrap pieces of plastic, you ill become more familiar ith products and procedures.
