APPLICATION
Joint and surface preparation
Before applying the adhesive make sure the surface is clean, dust and grease-free, solid and
without any badly attached pieces. The surface should be cleaned with Teka Cleaner; wipe
the surface well with a cloth to remove any impurities and residues of Teka Cleaner.

To increase durability of the adhesive it is recommended that you protect the surface to be
bonded, namely:
• only bond glass with a protective ceramic lining on the inner side;
• apply a rubber gasket over the bonded surface on the external side of the glass.

Windscreen bonding procedure:

• Apply a 3mm thick double-sided Tekafix fixing tape on a clean surface on which you
intend to fix a windscreen element. The tape provides a temporary support to the adhesive
during the curing process. It also enables that the layer of the sealant is evenly applied
which is of extreme importance if you wish to achieve optimal results of bonding procedure.
• Tekafix Windscreen should be applied using a hand-held gun. Use a nozzle which enables
a triangular outflow of the adhesive (Picture 1).
• Apply the adhesive on the outer side of the double-sided Tekatrak fixing tape. Leave at least
a 10mm gap between the applied adhesive and the tape.
• Remove the upper protection layer of the double-sided tape and put the windscreen in place
immediately. Press hard in order to ensure a perfect joint between the windscreen, the
adhesive and the double-sided fixing tape.

Correct triangular bead application of the adhesive

H = 9–12mm
