Installing
–  Apply adhesive to RIR and spread across surface using commercially available toothed spreader. For adhesive to work correctly, temperature should not be below +20 °C.
–  Clean off adhesive residue immediately with water. Partly cured adhesive can be removed using a stain remover (ethyl acetate or similar). Cured adhesive can no longer be removed!
–  Allow adhesive to dry at +20 °C for approx. 30 minutes. Touch adhesive with finger to test. If, for any reason, curing time has elapsed but work cannot be completed, adhesive should be scraped off immediately. RIR can then be reused.
–  Immediately prior to bonding RIR in place, heat up adhesive using hot air gun at approx. 60 °C for 2 to 3 minutes. Hold hot air gun (nozzle) 200 to 300 mm away from surface.
–  Align RIR at sides to roof frame.
–  Apply pressure to RIR to fit to roof according to size, starting from rear of roof frame.
