6. Apply adhesive to substrate test surface (fig 26a). This ensures the adhesive wets out both surfaces and helps prevent interfacial failures. 7. Press the steel dolly into the substrate test surface with a firm pressure (fig 26b) DO NOT ‘seat’ the dolly by twisting it into position. If the dolly is twisted into position it will increase the likelihood of interfacial failures. 8. Remove excess adhesive from around the edge of the dolly without disturbing its position (fig 26c).
