For the moisture-curing type of urethane adhesive, allow a minimum of 6 hours at 21°C (70°F) or greater and with at least 30 percent
relative humidity. Allow at least 24 hours for the complete curing of the urethane adhesive.
*
For the chemical-curing type of urethane adhesive, allow a minimum of 1 hour.
Do NOT physically disturb the repair area until after these minimum times have elapsed.
The following conditions must be maintained to properly cure the urethane adhesive:
1. Partially lower a door window in order to prevent pressure buildups when closing doors before the urethane adhesive cures.
2. Do not drive the vehicle until the urethane adhesive is cured. Refer to the above curing times.
3. Do not use compressed air in order to dry the urethane adhesive.
