Best Practices for 3M 4000UV Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure
-
Surface Preparation
Surface should be clean, dry and free of contaminants. New surfaces should be solvent wiped with 3M™ General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner 08984, or equivalent. Other than new surfaces should be sanded with a fine grade abrasive to enhance bond strength.
-
Clean-Up
For cleaning 3M marine adhesive/sealant 4000 UV before it is cured, use a dry cloth to remove the majority, followed by a cloth damp with 3M general purpose adhesive cleaner, toluene, acetone, or other good cleaning solvent. Cured 3M marine adhesive/sealant 4000 UV can be removed mechanically with a knife, razor blade, piano wire or by sanding.
