ASSEMBLY
STEP #1 FIRST SQUEEGEE PASS
NOTE: Please read all instructions thoroughly before starting the procedure of applying film to window surface.
Spray the surface of the film with the mounting solution. Start at the
center of the film and follow squeegee directions 1 and 2,
squeegeeing horizontally (sideways) as displayed in Figure Asm-B-
0273. Hold the film in place with your free hand as you proceed with
your first squeegee stroke. This will keep the film from moving
around on the glass. Following squeegee directions 1 & 2 will
vertically divide the window into left and right halves and set the film
in place on the glass. Complete pass 3 & 4 and if not already done,
trim film along top of window now. Make sure you thoroughly
squeegee and tack film to glass completely across top with pass 3 &
4. After doing this, wipe excess mounting solution from top frame
and gasket area to avoid solution from running down between glass
and film. Continue passes as until you completely squeegee film
surface. If film is not exactly pre-cut to fit, trim sides and bottom at
this time.
NOTE: Use steady, consistent extreme pressure and very slow
strokes on the first pass to avoid doing a second pass. Drive the
mounting solution out from between film and glass.
This is very important! This thick safety film can absorb some of your squeegee pressure, therefore not
allowing adequate pressure to be applied to adhesive. If you perform this step properly, a second pass will not
be needed. If pressure is greater on a second pass, champagne bubbles can occur. If champagne bubbles do
occur during second squeegee pass, stop and restart installing safety film with one pass.
STEP #2 SECOND SGUEEGEE PASS
Spray the surface of the film. Repeat the above squeegee pass using the same pattern shown in Figure Asm-
B-0273. This time making sure you have left no trapped water/air pockets and squeegee all excess mounting
solution out from between the film and glass surface. Step back a foot or two and inspect your work from
straight on and from an angle. Make sure all excess mounting solution has been removed.
STEP #3 DRY SQUEEGEE PASS
Use two layers of a paper towel wrapped around the edge. Start from an upper corner, using short strokes
approximately six to eight inches long, push any trapped, excess mounting solution out from between film and
glass, working from approximately 6 inches away from edge to frame. Repeat this procedure and continue
around the perimeter of the window.
STEP#4 FINAL INSPECTION OF WATER POCKETS
Step back a few feet and inspect the installed safety film from a straight on view and from an angle. You should
not have any water pockets. If you do work them out with the squeegee.
Upon completing your installation it is recommended to clean the surface of the recently installed film by using
a window film cleaner or simply spray the interior surface with your mounting solution and lightly squeegee off
the surface and dry the edges with a paper towel. This will leave your window surface clear and clean of any
streaks or residue of water and soap that were used in the installation process. Presenting your installation to
your customer in this manner will enable them to see through the recently treated window clearly.
STEP#5 APPLYING STRUCTURE SEALANT TO FILM & FRAME
After final inspection of verifying that there is no water pockets or air bubbles. Start applying the Structural
Silicone Sealant (GE SCS2000 SilPruf) that came with your film kit to edges of frame and film. This will anchor
the film to the window and door frame.
Follow the instructions below on how to apply Structural Silicone Sealant below:
