It is important to clean-up adhesive
immediately while still wet. To clean
adhesive from panel, tools and
hands while wet, use mineral spirits,
acetone or isopropyl alcohol and a
rag. Once adhesive has cured, it can
be extremely dicult to remove.
Follow solvent vendor’s precautions.
NOTE: test solvent in an
out-of-the-way area to make sure it
will not mar or attack the surface.
Tools and excess adhesive may be
cleaned up with water while wet. If
adhesive has dried, use mineral
spirits. Follow solvent vendor’s
precautions when using solvents.
NOTE: test solvent in an
out-of-the-way area to make sure
it will not mar or attack the surface.
Scrape o dried excess with a
putty knife. Remove residue with
mineral spirits or equivalent
solvent while the adhesive is still
wet. Follow solvent vendor’s
precautions when using solvents.
NOTE: test solvent in an
out-of-the-way area to make sure
it will not aect the surface being
cleaned.
