3.2 PREPARATION
A. Use protective tarps and drop cloths to cover interior finishes near window.
B. Clean window and window framing thoroughly with neutral cleaning solution. Blade inside surface of window glass with industrial razors to insure removal of foreign contaminants.
C. Place towel or other absorbent material on widow sill or sash to absorb moisture accumulation generated by film application.
3.3 INSTALLATION
A. Install window films per manufacturer’s written instructions.
1. Cut film edges neatly and square at a uniform distance of 1/8 inch (3 mm) to 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) from window sealant.
2. Edge Seal (to protect from edge corrosion) – None required. 3M Ultra Prestige Window Films do not contain metals.
3. Use water and film slip solution on window glass and adhesive to facilitate proper positioning of film.
4. Use polyplastic bladed squeegees to insure efficient removal of excess water from underside of film and to maximize bonding of pressure sensitive adhesive.
5. Upon completion of film application, allow 30 days for moisture from film installation to dry thoroughly, and to allow film to dry flat with no moisture dimples when viewed under normal viewing conditions.
3.4 CLEANING
A. After application of film, wash film using common window cleaning solutions, including ammonia solutions, 30 days after application. Do not use abrasive type cleaning agents and bristle brushes to avoid scratching film. Use synthetic sponges or soft clorths.
B. After installation, remove left over material and debris from Work area. Use necessary means to protect film before, during, and after installation.
