Directions for Use

SURFACE PREPARATION

1. Wash the surface with soap and water to remove water soluble contaminants.

Clean with an appropriate 3M VOC compliant product to remove remaining

surface contaminants. Reference the 3M Automotive Aftermarket catalog for a

suitable VOC compliant product.

2. Sand the bonding surfaces with a P80 grit 3M abrasive.

3. Remove dust from surface using clean, dry compressed air and a clean rag.

4. SMC and fiberglass DO NOT require an adhesion promoter. If repairing Metton

apply a light, consistent coat of 3M™ Polyolefin Adhesion Promoter, PN 05907,

to the repair area. Allow promoter to dry for 5 minutes before applying adhesive.

PRODUCT PREPARATION

1. Insert the cartridge into the applicator gun.

2. Remove the retaining collar and plug from the end of cartridge. Discard the plug.

Save the retaining collar.

3. Equalize the cartridge by extruding a small amount of product until both parts A

and B dispense equally.

4. Attach the 3M™ Mixing Nozzle, PN 08193 or 08194 to the cartridge and lock it

in place with the retaining collar.

5. Dispense a small amount of material out of the nozzle and discard.

GENERAL REPAIR PROCESS

1. Dry fit parts to ensure a good fit.

2. Apply a continuous bead of adhesive to one part.

3. Mate the parts and clamp the parts in place for 5 minutes (at 73ºF).

APPLICATION WARNINGS

1. DO NOT over clamp.

2. DO NOT use a two part polyester body filler or putty over PN 08270. Bubbling

may result.

3. For bonding flexible plastics and/or Metton®, apply a light, consistent coat of

the 3M™ Polyolefin Adhesion Promoter, PN 05907, to the bonding surface as

the last surface preparation step. Allow the promoter to dry for 5 minutes before

applying the adhesive.

4. If bonding metal, first apply a two part epoxy or urethane primer to the metal

surface. Once the primer has cured, scuff the bonding surface with a 3M™

Scotch-Brite™ General Purpose Pad-Maroon PN 07447.

CLEAN-UP

1. Remove excess PN08270 prior to complete cure by using an appropriate VOC

compliant adhesive remover suitable for most surfaces, such as 3M™ Specialty

Adhesive Remover (PN38984 / PN38987).Reference the 3M Automotive

Aftermarket Catalog for the full line of suitable VOC compliant products.
