– Apply adhesive to body side, join parts and secure in position.
Diameter of adhesive bead: 3.5 mm
Parts must be joined and secured in position within processing
time specified by manufacturer of adhesive; otherwise a surface
skin will form, resulting in inadequate adhesion at the flanges.
– Fit rivets and wipe off emerging adhesive.
Rivets must be fitted before adhesive has set. The time available
depends on the ambient temperature.
It is essential to pay attention to the information on the technical
data sheet for the adhesive.
Note
If adhesive comes out on both sides over the full length of the
joint, this indicates that sufficient adhesive has been applied.
Adhesive must have hardened before further surface work is per‐
formed.
Note
♦
For large parts, e.g. roof, the assistance of a second person
is required, as otherwise adhesive will dry before work is com‐
pleted.
♦
Ensure the openings of the double cartridge are clean before
fitting the mixing nozzle. With mixing nozzle firmly in position,
press out an approx. 10 cm long bead and apply adhesive.
♦
In the event of interruptions lasting up to 30 minutes, press out
and discard an approx. 10 cm long bead to ensure that new
material is properly mixed. In the event of interruptions lasting
longer than 30 minutes, replace mixing nozzle and press out
a 10 cm long bead. If several cartridges are required for repair
work, the same mixing nozzle can be used.

Only equipment which is listed as approved in the workshop
equipment catalogue may be used.
