attracts dust and dirt to the surface. Blotting with a clean damp cloth is recommended to remove charge.

ANTISTATIC COATINGS

For acrylic used indoors, antistatic coatings successfully prevent the accumulation of an electrostatic charge for periods of several months—if the surface is not washed or wiped down with a wet cloth. Between applications of the antistatic coatings, the parts need only be dusted with a soft clean cloth to maintain a good appearance. In use, liquid antistatic coatings should be applied in a very thin even coat. If beads appear as it is applied, the coat is too thick and the excess should be removed with another cloth. Allow the coating to dry, then bring to a high gloss with a soft cloth.

PARTS LIST

•1" Plastic rod 3/16" diameter

•Acrylic Solvent Cement (IPS weldon #16,#40 or comparable)

•Masking tape & duct tape (not supplied)

INSTRUCTIONS

Note:

Cases must be leveled and set prior to joining

 

plexiglass. Cases were prejoined, leveled and set

 

at the factory to assure proper fit at the installa-

 

tion.

Step 1 Prepare front plexiglass for cement application by placing masking tape, a maximum 1/16 of an inch from the seam, on both sides front and back. Tape is to protect plexiglass from cement spill over. Scarring will occur if cement touches clear plexiglass.

Step 2 Sand edges with 60-80 grit paper. Parts must fit well with no visual gap. Keep plexiglass clean and clear of dust.

Step 3 Remove protective mask from plexiglass. Separate front plexiglass pieces enough to apply a bead of #16 cement within one edge inside of seam and plastic rod area. If Weldon #40 was supplied, refer to the instructions below.

Step 4 Realign front plexiglass and push together gently allowing cement to wet both surfaces. Insert the plastic rod until flush with top of plexiglass.

Step 5 Clamp firmly and apply tape (2" duct tape recommended) across face of seam to secure plexiglass from shifting while cement dries. Allow 24 hours for glue to cure completely, however joint will be strong enough to work on after 2 hours.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR #40 WELD-ON CEMENTINSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1 Bring components "A" and "B" to room temperature.

Step 2 Add component "A" to component "B". Items have been pre-measured at the factory.

Step 3 Stir mixture slowly and evenly to prevent air bubbles. Mix for 1-3 minutes.

Step 4 Apply cement to one or both surfaces with applicator. Assemble immediately!

Step 5 Apply just enough pressure to remove air bubbles. Do not squeeze joint so hard as to force cement out of the joint – a dry joint may result.

Step 4 Allow to dry approximately 4 hours (at 70°). More time may be required at lower tempera- tures.
