WM, 5X00IN Seam Seals: Information: Notes
Information
- In the event of repairs, seal add-on parts before assembly (painting) according to the following illustrations.
- The surfaces to be sealed must be dry and free of grease and dirt before applying body sealant. Clean the areas with cleaning solution and a lint-free cloth.
- The sealing material can be applied directly to add-on parts coated with KTL paint (cathodic dipbath coating).
- Mask or cover all adjacent areas before starting sealing work.
- Make sure that all residual moisture is removed completely before applying a new seal.
- The seam seal can be painted over when a skin has formed (about 15 - 30 minutes at 20 °C, 50% relative air humidity. Higher air humidity or dampening with water accelerates the hardening process).
- Hardening can be checked by a nail test. Press your finger nail gently into the hardened sealing compound; if this causes no damage to the sealing compound surface, the seam seal can be painted.
- Paint over sealing compound within 3 days.
