(4) Apply adhesive to inside surface of snubber.
(5) Position snubber with protruding leg facing outboard beginning at lower center of door jamb
and work progressively around jamb applying pressure to snubber to remove any trapped air
and to ensure a proper bond. Do not prestretch snubber as this can induce cracks.
NOTE: Normal tack time for 3M EC 1300L is 30-45 minutes at 75°F. However, adhesive that
has “set” may be reactivated by a clean rag moistened with Toluol or MEK.
(6) It takes approximately 1 day for bond to cure. Do Not allow door to close during this period. It is
recommended that door be left open as long as possible to effect curing.
(7) Remove masking tape if used and clean off excessive adhesive smears using Mineral Spirits
or Toluol and a clean cloth. Install striker plates and windlacing.
(8) Check that door close properly and readjust as necessary to achieve a flush fit. Latching effort
must not have increased.
(9) With all hardware and plates installed, coat snubbers with silicone.
