A surface primer can be recommended for hard-to-bond surfaces, such as some plasties, Contact your Dow Corning, ropreseniative for spe recommendations How To Apply Apply the sealant to the prepared surface in a continuous, uniform thickness, Dow Corning 3-0115 Automotive Sealant can be ‘manually applied, but the use of ‘automated dispensing equipment is highly recommended to obtain 2 uniform seal The sealant bead size to be specified isa function of the anticipated gap size for the part and the flange width, Consult your Dow Coming representative for ‘equipment supplier and design, recommendations ree Time and Handling One exposure to moisture in the air, the surface of Dow Corning 3-015 ‘Automotive Sealant will skin over in about 10 minutes at room ‘temperature and 50 percent relative humidity. To ensure integrity of the seal between mating parts, assemble the parts before the sealait skins over, Higher relative humidities will accelerate this cure time, jing continues inward from the surface. In 24 hours at room temperature and 50 percent relative humidity, a fully exposed section of Dow Corning 3-0115 Automotive Sealant will cure to a depth of 3.2 mm, Lower relative humiditios will extend this cure time.
