51 31 ... Instructions on gluing windscreen: Hardening:

The adhesive hardens as it reacts with air humidity (with accelerator also due to mixed-in reaction paste) at room temperature.

Minimum hardening time (table) is obtained from 22 °C and 38 % relative air humidity.

At ambient temperatures above 23 °C and 50 % relative air humidity (hot countries), the adhesive open time is shortened to approx. 5 minutes (skin formation time).

The adhesive hardening process is interrupted completely at ambient temperatures below 5 °C. In this event, there will be no increase in the strength of the adhesive bond.

Do not subject the vehicle to load on one side during the minimum hardening time

Maneuvering inside garage/workshop:

Remove adhesive tapes after hardening time.

If you fail to adhere to the minimum hardening times
