APPLICATION OF ADHESIVE/ADHESIVE BACKED ITEMS
1. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to clean the surface with alcohol where the adhesive or
adhesive backed item is to be applied.
2. After the alcohol has dried, use another clean dry cloth or paper towel to wipe the surface
clean of all residue before the adhesive backed item is applied.
3. Apply the adhesive backed item immediately after the surface has dried. Be careful not to
touch either the application surface or the adhesive with the bare hand.
4. Using a clean dry cloth or paper towel, rub out all air bubbles on flat items, such as
keypads, labels, serial tags etc., by rubbing back and forth on the surface of the adhesive
backed item while pressing firmly.
NOTE: Be sure to press firmly on each corner to insure a good bond.
5. For items that have foam tape, such as standoffs, apply the items square to the surface
and hold in place with firm pressure for 5-10 seconds.
NOTE: Most adhesive backed items will not attain full strength until after 24 hours. It
is critical that the above procedure be followed to obtain the maximum bonding
strength of any adhesive.
