Tapes are applied to the clean metal surface of the plate holding the rubber seal. The liner is removed and the
plate is pressed into place on the bottom of the garage door panel. A J-roller can be used to apply the appropriate pressure
required to ensure good adhesive contact to the plate.
Surface Preparation
IPA/Water should be used to clean all surfaces to be bonded.* Testing for adhesion levels is very important.
*Note: Carefully read and follow solvent manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when using solvents.
