Acrylic Foam Tape:
Read the following instructions to properly install the 3M Acrylic foam tape.
• Clean Surface - Use Pro-Clean to clean the surface of dirt, wax, and
any other foreign substances for the best results.
• Surface Temperature - The surface where the product is desired
should be 75 °F/24°C for proper adhesion.
• Adhesion Promoter - Just prior to installation, apply a light coat of
Pro-Bond adhesion. The Pro-Bond will make for a better bond for the
Acrylic Tape.
NOTE: Use a heat gun to warm the product. When storing the
motorhome, store in a warm area if possible.
To install acrylic foam tape, cut the liner for the proper length and then peel
back the poly liner from the tape. Apply the tape on the desired line. Continue this
process until the project is complete.
Dolphin Sealants (7549): Used where items are sealed under a painted surface
such as the metal corners of the slide-out room. The material is specially
formulated to allow paint adhesion.
Black Urethane: Used for sealing the windshields, not to fill holes or
other imperfections. Black urethane comes in a tube and it applies
much the same way as silicone. Clean up using solvents such as paint
thinner. Gloves are required as this material is hazardous.
Silicone Sealant: Primarily used on the sidewalls where a hole has
been made and an item installed. This includes Windows, Doors,
Handles, Beltline Molding, Latches and around bases of items surface
mounted such as clearance lights. Old peeling sealant should be
removed. Avoid using metal utensils which can scratch the painted
surface. Use nylon sticks or equivalent. Avoid using lacquer thinners or
ketone based solvents as these chemicals can damage the painted
surfaces. Be sure the surface is clean and dry before application. Cut
the tube at an angle with smallest usable opening. Avoid a heavy bead
as a little goes a long way. Use finger at a 45° angle on beaded surface
to smooth out product. Do not moisten finger, use a disposable latex
glove. Keep rags or paper towels handy for clean up. Use care when
applying silicone. Plan ahead before starting a bead, look for obstacles
that may impede application.
Spray Foam: Used as a sealant where a hole has been made for items
such as water lines or wires that are coming through a floor opening.
