17.0Multimode Polish

17.1Perform an air polish by holding the 9 micron lapping

film firmly in one hand and gently moving the film in a circular motion for approximately 10 strokes or until approximately one half of the bead height is removed.

Note: You can polish approximately 20 connectors with each piece of 9 micron lapping film.

17.2Using a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol clean the connector after the air polish to remove all debris left by the 9 micron lapping film.

17.3Clean the round polishing pad found in the 3MUniversal Hot Melt Kit 6365/6361 with a lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

17.4Place several drops of alcohol onto the round polishing pad.

17.5Before alcohol evaporates, place a sheet of the pale green 2 micron lapping film, shiny side down on the pad. The alcohol creates suction on the lapping film and helps hold it in place.

17.6Clean the lapping film with a lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

Note : The 2 micron lapping film can be used for up to 4 connectors.
