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 .
