6. Drill out support peg joining straight sections

using a 3/16"

tire length of the seam of the plexiglass until
you can pry the two
pieces apart.

8. Sand off excess cement

remaining on the case
and clean with methanol.

PREPARE NEW PLEX

1. Rough the corner edges

of the plex to be joined.
(

Note: Only the ends

should be roughed up. 

(E)

Do not rough up the face of the end piece of plexiglass
when preparing a corner).

2. Clean roughed edges with methanol.

INSTALLATION

3. Screw plex in using

pre-drilled holes.  Tops
must be at even
heights

  (D)

.  If more

than one piece is be-
ing replaced, follow
this procedure with all

mallet 

(F)

.

5. Mask plexiglass as close to the seam as possible with

2" masking tape.

GLUE PREPARATION

NOTE:  This cement will last about 30 minutes - use it within

that time.

1. Add compound B (dryer) to Compound A (Base Resin)

in Dixie cup. (everything is premeasured at 20 parts A
to 1 part B).

2. Stir mixture well with stick for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir

evenly and slowly to prevent excess air and bubbles
from entering the mixture.

3. Pour mixture from dixie

cup into application bottle
(provided).

4. Place rag over bottle and

cup it in your hand. (Rag will
allow bottle to spin freely
and protect your hand from
burning).

5. Spin the bottle for one

minute or until bubbles are
removed. The spinning of
the bottle should remove all
air bubbles trapped in the
mixture during stirring.

APPLYING CEMENT

STRAIGHT SECTION:

1. While one person holds the seam open, apply cement

to both surfaces to be joined.

2. Tape closed seam carefully with nylon tape along the

top of the seam applying just enough pressure to re-
move any air bubbles. A little mixture will be squeezed
from the seam.

3. With clean cloth wipe as much excess glue fom seam

before removing
2" masking tape.

4. After about 3 or

4 hours, you may
clean up the ex-
cess cement that
was forced from
the seam using
the piece of
formica that was
shipped with the
plex repair kit.
NOTE: After step 4 allow cement to fully dry. This
takes approx. 24 hours.

SUPPORT PEG-STRAIGHT SECTION ONLY

1. After all the seams have been cemented, insert the

plexiglass support peg into the predrilled holes
