  • Best Practices for 3M 7993MP Membrane Switch Spacer

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      To obtain best adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry, and smooth. Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or heptane.

      Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when working with solvents.

    2. Application

      Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is satisfactory.
