Application Techniques
When applying pressure-sensitive adhesives it is necessary to provide pressure during lamination. Starting at the
top peel back a 1” section of the release liner, align and apply. Using a plastic squeegee, stiff cardboard, or a soft
cloth will help provide the necessary pressure at the point of lamination. Continue removing the release liner and
smooth out with the squeegee. Heat can increase bond strength when bonding to metal parts (generally this same
increase is observed at room temperature over longer times, weeks). For plastic parts, the bond strength is not
enhanced with the addition of heat.

For best results, the application surface and the surrounding ambient atmosphere should be 50°F (10°C) or above.
If applying the adhesive below 50°F (10°C), the application surface should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol) to insure good initial adhesion.

When bonding a thin, smooth, flexible material to a smooth surface, it is generally acceptable to use 2 mils of
adhesive. If a texture is visible on one or both surfaces, the 4 mil adhesive would be suggested. If both materials are
rigid, it may be necessary to use a thicker adhesive to successfully bond the components.
