Acrylic Foam Tape:
Read the following instructions to properly install the 3M Acrylic foam tape.
• Clean Surface - Use Pro-Clean to clean the surface of dirt, wax, and any other foreign sub-
stances for the best results.
• Surface Temperature - The surface where the product is desired should be 75 °F/24°C for
proper adhesion.
• Adhesion Promoter - Just prior to installation, apply a light coat of Pro-Bond adhesion.
The Pro-Bond will make for a better bond for the Acrylic Tape.
NOTE:
Use a heat gun to warm the product. When storing the motorhome, store in a warm
area if possible.
To install acrylic foam tape, cut the liner for the proper length and then peel back the poly liner
from the tape. Apply the tape on the desired line. Continue this process until the project is complete.
Dolphin Sealants (7549): Used where items are sealed under a painted surface such as the metal cor-
ners of the slide-out room. The material is specially formulated to allow paint adhesion.
Black Urethane: Used for sealing the windshields, not to fill holes or other imperfections.
Black urethane comes in a tube and it applies much the same way as silicone. Clean up
using solvents such as paint thinner. Gloves are required as this material is hazardous.
Silicone Sealant: Primarily used on the sidewalls where a hole has been made and an item
installed. This includes Windows, Doors, Handles, Beltline Molding, Latches and around
bases of items surface mounted such as clearance lights. Old peeling sealant should be
removed. Avoid using metal utensils which can scratch the painted surface. Use nylon
sticks or equivalent. Avoid using lacquer thinners or ketone based solvents as these chemi-
cals can damage the painted surfaces. Be sure the surface is clean and dry before applica-
tion. Cut the tube at an angle with smallest usable opening. Avoid a heavy bead as a little
goes a long way. Use finger at a 45° angle on beaded surface to smooth out product. Do not
moisten finger, use a disposable latex glove. Keep rags or paper towels handy for clean up.
Use care when applying silicone. Plan ahead before starting a bead, look for obstacles that
may impede application.
Spray Foam: Used as a sealant where a hole has been made for items such as water lines or
wires that are coming through a floor opening.
