Posted: Mon May 30, 2011 5:33 am Post subject: Plexi-Prep (Cleaning)

I'm getting ready to drop the windows into the doors and thought I'd ask a quick question before I do something stupid.



What has everyone found to be effective in cleaning the plexi prior to gluing them into place?  I want to make sure I'm using something that will clean the surface adequately but not craze the glass.

 

Thanks,

Phil

Do not clean your plexi with any commercial cleaners prior to installing.  Many of them have components in them to help in removal of dirt the next time around and leave a clear film that can interfere with adhesion.  Clean edges with water and alcohol prior to installing.  After cure clean with normal cleaners.  I use 3M products available from NAPA.

I sanded the area to be bonded and wiped down the area with  alcohol and water.  Like Proseal, weldon will bond to anything, just cure  more quickly.

 For sure wipe down the area after sanding and keep it clean  but don’t use any cleaners before bonding.

forgot to mention. Do not put too much pressure on one area of  the plexi as it is being cured, the weldon will get really hot and cause the  crazing. I had fingers that were set around the doors and held the plexi in  place. 

  

 As a reminder too- door windows and windscreen are now  sold by Desser/Cee Baileys ready to install. I am not selling them but  trying to make life easier for anyone behind me.
