Clamp the panel in place evenly and tightly. The glass beads within the adhesive will prevent overclamping the components. See Figures 24 and
25.

Wipe away any excess adhesive where possible before it cures.

NOTE: Welding can be performed anytime while the adhesive cures, or after the adhesive is fully cured. Welder settings will vary when welding
through wet adhesive versus when welding through cured adhesive. Use the welder manufacturer's recommended settings for welding through
adhesive.
NOTE:
It is best to place a shunt weld (in an area with no adhesive) as the first weld to make sure you have proper conductivity, particularly when
welding through cured adhesive.
NOTE:
If welding will not be performed immediately, allow the adhesive to cure for 1-1/2 to 2 hours at 21 °C (70°F) before removing the clamps prior
to welding. Otherwise, the clamps may be removed immediately after welding.
