Notice: The grid line repair material must be cured
with heat. In order to avoid heat damage to the
interior trim, protect the trim near the repair area
where heat will be applied.

10. Hold the heat gun nozzle 25 mm (1 inch) from the

iodine to the area using a pipe cleaner or a line
brush. Allow the iodine to dry for about 30
seconds. Carefully wipe off the excess iodine with
a lint-free cloth.

order to verify that the repair was successful.
Important: At least 24 hours is required for
complete curing of the repair materials. The repair
