preparation. In most cases like this you will need to make a solution of a straight detergent (Johnson’s Baby
Shampoo or Palmolive Dish Soap) and water. Mix a 32oz bottle with about five table spoons of soap
detergent. Once you have the solution made wash the surface scrubbing quite vigorously to remove any
surface contaminates.
When this is done you can proceed to the regular preparation. This is done by scrubbing the surface with
alcohol and wiping it dry. At this point you will need to test the surface again to see if you have achieved a
tack. Apply a new strip of masking tape to the surface. If it adheres you have done a good job, if it doesn’t then
you must perform the wash again and again if necessary until you have achieved a nice tack. Once a tack has
been achieved swipe the entire surface to be mounted with the adhesive promoter you will receive with any
of our stainless steel kits. This promoter is not a cleaner but an adhesive accelerator when used on a nice
clean and well prepared surface this chemical will create a very reliable bondable surface.
2. Now that all preparations have been made the next step will be to apply the accessory. In almost all
cases it will be very necessary to pre-shape the stainless part so that it conforms to the surface you are
mounting it to, perfectly. This is done by gently shaping the part by hand a little at a time so that when the
part is placed in position it matches the surface without having to apply pressure anywhere on the part to
make it fit the shape of the surface. In other words it will look like it has been installed perfectly, before you
actually peel and stick it. If you take your time when forming the part you will never have any problems with
the part popping off in the future.
3. Now that you have a good surface prep and your part or parts have been hand shaped to match the
surface you can peel the red release liner from the back of the part. Keep in mind that the adhesive is very
aggressive and it will not allow you to reposition it once it has made contact with the surface. So go slow and
sure. Once all hole and the perimeters are lined up, set the part in place pressing firmly along the entire
surface to bond the part and then remove the protective liner. The bond will become permanent after
twenty-four hours.
