SMC BODY PANEL REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the damaged panel and all of the old adhesive from the vehicle. This can be accomplished by using a heat gun, putty knife and an air chisel. Be careful not to damage the vehicle structure. Mill and drill pads must be replaced if damaged and at appropriate height and length and width dimensions.
2. Wash all surfaces with soap or IES Super Foam (4535) and rinse with water. Next, use IES Super Clean (1700) or IES Specialty Adhesive Remover (1780) to remove any grease, wax or other contaminates. Allow to dry completely.
3. Remove all paint, primer, corrosion and rust from metal bonding areas using a 36 grit Abrasive Trim-Kut Disc® (7060) .
4. Straighten all metal bonding areas and temporarily clamp the replacement panel for proper alignment and fi
t.
5. Remove the replacement panel from the vehicle.
6. Clean all metal areas to be bonded with IES Super Clean (1700) or IES Specialty Adhesive Remover (1780) to remove any grease, wax or any other contaminates. Allow to dry.
7. Using a 36 grit Abrasive Trim-Kut Disc® (7060) , scuff sand the mating edge of the new panel. Blow off SMC bonding area with clean compressed air.
8. Follow the enclosed “Directions for using IES Dual-Mix Cartridge products”.
9. Apply IES SMC Panel Bonding Adhesive (8414) to all areas to be bonded. This means the replacement panel as well as the vehicle. Using a plastic spreader or brush, tool out the adhesive to provide a base coat for an additional adhesive bead, ensuring all bare metal surfaces are coated.
10. Apply a bead of IES SMC Panel Bonding Adhesive (8414) approximately 1/4” from the inside edge of the replacement panel.
11. Clamp the panel into its proper position. When repositioning , slide the panel. Never lift the panel when repositioning. Apply clamps at 12” intervals or closer if necessary. In areas where clamps can not be applied, use sheet metal screws to draw the panel down wherever there is not a flush fit.
12. Tool any adhesive “squeeze out” to seal the outside seam along the bonded edge of the panel.
13. Clamps may be removed in 4 to 5 hours. Panel may need to remain clamped if temperature is below 73°F or if there is any tension on the panel. Cure time is 24 hours. De-clamping time and cure time can be accelerated by applying heat with a heat gun or heat lamps. Be careful not to overheat. Do not exceed 180°F.
