4.2 REMOVING ADHESIVE (HAND POLISHING)
Step 1 Clean the surface of the
synthetic rubber sheet with
ethyl alcohol. Make sure all
dirt and other foreign matter is
removed.
Step 2 Place a new piece of abrasive
paper onto the rubber pad.
Step 3 Take the holding jig with the
ferrules mounted in it and rub
the tips of the ferrules against
the abrasive paper using a
figure-8 motion. Rub for about
10 seconds using only the
weight of the holding jig, then
for about 20 seconds with
about 1 to 2 kg (2.2 to 4.4 lbs)
of hand pressure.
Step 4 Clean the tips of the ferrules
with cleaning paper. Make
sure that there is no adhesive
remaining on the tips of the
ferrules. Use a new piece of
abrasive paper every time this
polishing step is done.
NOTE
If the ferrules are mounted
incorrectly, the ferrule can slip
and the tip of the ferrule may not
be polished correctly.
