Directions For Use:

Read all directions before beginning repair. Repairs can be made ideally at temperatures from 50 degree Fahrenheit to 75 degree Fahrenheit. Repairs made at lower temperatures will take longer to cure.

• Remove the mounting button from the mirror bracket.
• On the outside of the windshield, mark the spot where the button was mounted with a felt-tip marker or crayon.
• Scrape all old adhesive off windshield and the button with a safety razor. (Be careful not to gouge button with razor.)
• Using fine grit sandpaper, put on a flat, hard surface and gently sand the mounting surface of the button using a circular motion.
• Open the Cleaner/Activator towelette by pulling both sides of the protective packet at a point at the top sides of the package. Fold the packet back to use. The towelette is attached to the foil packet. Do Not Remove.
• Apply the activator to the inside of the windshield where the spot has been marked by the felt-tip marker. Use a circular motion and make sure that the activator overlaps the mark by at least 1/2". Allow the activator to dry for at least 2 minutes. DO NOT TOUCH the glass after the activator has been applied.
• Tear open the adhesive pouch at the top or use scissors to cut open. Apply one drop only to the center of the button. (Remember, more is not better.)
• Immediately apply the button to the windshield, ensuring that the correct side is up (usually the rounded side). Hold firmly against the windshield for at least 1 minute. Do not move the button during this time. Allow to set for at least 30 minutes.
• Mount the mirror bracket onto the button. Clean off the marking on the outside of the windshield with alcohol.
• Wipe off any uncured resin with a cloth.
• Uncured resin may be cleaned up with a cloth saturated with alcohol.
• Clean hands with Fast Orange® hand cleaner.
