FITTING DETAILS

Remove all flaky paint and rough edges with a medium or fine sandpaper.

Remove grease, dust and grime by wiping with a paper towel and
methylated spirits (non industrial).

Paper towels are more efficient than cloths in preventing the transfer of dirt from one part of the window to another.

To further enhance adhesion and fixing it is recommended to use an adhesive primer, Scotch Primer 38 or similar are suitable. Extra fixing strength can be achieved by using staples or pins.
