Tools and excess adhesive may be
cleaned with water or isopropyl
alcohol 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.

It is important to clean-up adhesive
immediately while still wet. To clean
adhesive from panel, tools and
hands while wet, use mineral spirits
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.
