Questions & Answers

Could anyone please provide some advice about how to use this product to promote adhesion in urethane sealants and EPDM?

EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that is shaped like a rubber finger. The silicone will start disintegrating after a few months if you use it. This should work as window adhesive. A thin coat is probably needed to smooth it If you want to make sure the glue bonds well, maybe you can use window primer also

Are you talking about an etching primer here?

The answer is yes, I believe. There is almost a primer effect to it the scratched metal doesn't rust and the glass gets an anti-static coating that assists in adhering the urethane to the surface

The 3M butyl window weld should work with this, right?

You can use it as a primer. Still, you can give it a shot. Alternatively, you might be better off using what's specified by the butyl weld. You're going to try something new and see how it goes

Primer from 3M isn't even close to the quality of As opposed to the 3M glass primer kit, this one time use kit is supposed to be more convenient, but is in fact not
3/5

There is little use for the applicator built into the printer. The product does not lay an even coat and it does not adhere very well. (According to the datasheet) the 3M primer is made of the same ingredients as ordinary primer, but it seems to dry faster and adhere more effectively. Using a plastic scrapper, I was able to peel the dow primer off pretty easily. It costs double as much as the 3M, but comes with triple how much and lets you use disposable foam swabs to spread.

Getting messy is possible
5/5

It's not for everyone since this product will get all over the place if you're not careful. Since it is made with light foam, by the time you're done covering the entire window, the applicator will be worn out. all, I find it a great product that is a must for any business owner. My slider went out on my truck a few weeks earlier without this primer, even after I used sealant that was advertised as having a primer embedded within it. For the same price as it is on this website, I just bought the window seal from AutoZone. The primer seems to be a good match for it.

It does a great job of priming, but the dispenser is terrible
3/5

My hand and the car got soaked when the water dribbled After one use, the product had to be discarded. In spite of these circumstances, I only had one window to replace, so other than a little irritation over waste and mess, the job turned out excellent.

Warnings or directions are not provided
3/5

There were no instructions at all. It just had black gunk in a tube for you to apply in some way, with no warning labels. On the basis of the chemicals I smell from this stuff, I'm convinced that it's very toxic. If you have directions or warnings for these kinds of things, I would appreciate it. There is no way for me to know if this product worked, or if it was necessary at all, since the Windows OS contains everything I need Despite not using this primer product, the weld I used formed a perfect seal even where I did not apply primer. I wasn't satisfied with this product overall.

Smaller jobs can be done at reasonable price with this primer
5/5

This was the perfect primer for me as I was looking for a small amount. Unless I was going to use it, I did not want to spend three times that amount on some 3M primer The driver's side quarter panel window in my 2003 Suburban was replaced, and this work perfect to prime areas where we have had to scrape cleaned down to metal to remove the previous adhesive. It has a quick drying time and a great applicator.

With most glass adhesives, there is no need for an adhesion promoter

It is not necessary if you are replacing a piece of Most new glass caulk or adhesive cartridges are ready to use out of the box. It cannot be returned or refunded. The buyer is advised to beware!.

This is what I expected it to do
5/5

It was thus quite easy to replace a window in an excavator with this system. About a month ago, we installed the window, and has been holding it tightly ever since. A good seal has been formed.

I agree with others
3/5

The applicator is a waste of time. I failed to complete the race. With my rubber glove on, I had to scramble to finish the job with foam that had fallen out. It did, however, do what was asked of it.
