type of glass adhesive. (This glass adhesive is composed of urethane glass adhesive mixed
with a primer). When using the primer and glass adhesive produced by other manufacturers,
be sure to refer to the instructions provided by them. If glass adhesive is inadvertently or
improperly used in the following operations, its original adhesive performance will be
affected. Therefore, before working, pay attention to carefully reading the instructions and
brand numbers provided by the manufacturer of the glass adhesive used, and be sure to use
this procedure throughout the entire work period, and observe every precaution.
If the coated surface is scratched or otherwise damaged, it is important to repair the
damaged part, otherwise corrosion will begin there.
