Hardening time

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW 760Li, 2014 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li, 2012 BMW 760Li, and 2011 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Do not move the vehicle before the adhesive has hardened  .

Check the degree of hardness of the adhesive with a fingernail.

If the adhesive cannot be pressed in any further with a fingernail, the vehicle may be moved (without engine force) for further processing applications (e.g. painting).

Vehicle strength for driving applications  is achieved after:

48 hours at an object temperature of 15°C.

10 hours at an object temperature of 23°C.

1 hour at an object temperature of 60°C.

0.5 hours at an object temperature of 85°C.

IMPORTANT: When using radiant heaters, make sure that the object temperature does not exceed 85 °C. Excessively high temperatures will destroy the adhesive.
