methods:

Direct adhesion to the substrate.
o
Using Z clips.
o
Using stand-o
ffs.
o

se four methods:
Direct Adhesion to the Substrate.
o
Be certain that your substrate will hold an adequate bond to the recommended
adhesive. If in doubt about a co
ace, an adhesion mock up
test is recommended before you begin.
o
Cut, scribe and pre-
fi
t all Zintra ½” panels as necessary.
o
Once all of the panels have been properly sized and trimmed, begin the applica on
of the adhesive to the BACK SIDE ONLY of each panel. Use ONLY Liquid Nails LN710
Panel and Molding adhesive tubes.
o
Place the cartridge tube into the caulking gun, cut the nozzle and puncture the inner
seal. Trim nozzle to produce a ¼” thick bead.
o
First, apply a squiggly bead 1” in from the edge of the panel along all four perimeter
edges of the BACK face of the panel. See below images for reference.
o
Then apply
rn diagonally across the central section of the panel, within
the already placed bead of adhesive.
o
Apply the panel to the substrate within 20 minutes and monitor your adhesive to
prevent it from skinning over. Set the panel gently into place.
