Instructions For Sealing Seams

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  .
