Full-Cut Method Description

NOTE
• If corrosion of the pinch-weld flange is
present, or if sheet metal repairs or
replacements are required, refinish the
pinch-weld flange in order to present a
clean, primer-only surface.
• If paint repairs are required, mask the
flange bonding area, prior to applying the
color coat, in order to provide a clean,
primer-only surface.
• Appropriate materials for these primer
applications are typically 2 component
catalyzed products. Use materials such as
BASF DE15®, DuPont 2610®, Sherwin-
Williams PSE 4600 and NP70® and Martin-
Semour 5120, 5130®, PPG DP90LF SPIES/
HECKER 3688/8590 - 3688/5150 - 4070/5090
STANDOX 11158/13320 - 14653/14980
products are approved for this application.
Follow the manufacturer's directions for
the mix, the application, and the drying
times.
• After repairing the opening as indicated,
shake the pinch-weld primer black #3 well.
Using a new dauber, apply the primer to
the primed surface of the flange in the
bonding area. Allow the primer to dry for
10 minutes.
Use only the full cut method, also known in the field as
full strip method, when installing windows.
This method includes the following:
• The replacement of a majority of the urethane
adhesive bead. Remove all but approximately 2 mm
(3/64 in) of the existing bead of urethane adhesive
from the pinch-weld flange.
• Apply pinch-weld primer to any exposed painted
areas on the pinch-weld flange.
No mounds or loose pieces of urethane adhesive should
remain on the pinch-weld flange. Do not remove all
traces of urethane adhesive.

Stationary Window Description

Most stationary windows, specifically windshields, are
retained to the body with urethane adhesive which
adheres the window to the body, increasing structural
integrity. The reinstallation of the windows with urethane
adhesive requires complete replacement of the urethane
adhesive bead, and is known as the full cut method.
