GENERAL PART INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction: In the next few paragraphs we will explain to you what you will need to know and do for a successful

application of ACC Stainless Steel Accessories. It is important to understand that almost all stainless steel peel and stick

accessories need to be pre shaped by hand in order to achieve a nice long term installation. We realize that all parts are

different from each other but as far as the installations of these parts they all will need to follow the same set of general

instructions.

1. The first thing that needs to be done in any peel and stick application is surface preparation. It is important

that you examine the surface to determine if any kind of special treatments have ever been used. Such as wax/silicone

treatments and/or polymer surface preps. Take a strip of masking tape and press it very firmly to make it adhere to the

surface. Then peel it off to see how difficult it is to remove. If your masking tape is removed extremely easy and/or does

not stick at all then you will need to perform a special surface 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
