General Trim Part Installation Instructions
Introduction: In the following paragraphs, we explain everything you need to know for a successful installation of your stainless steel trim accessories. It’s important to understand that most stainless steel peel-and-stick trim accessories need to be pre-shaped by hand for a durable, long-term installation. While each part may differ slightly, all installations should follow the same general steps.
Top Liner Info: Your new accessories will arrive with a protective clear or bluish surface liner. Leave this liner in place until installation is complete to prevent fingerprints or scratches. Do not remove it until instructed to do so.
1. Begin with surface preparation. Examine the surface for any previous treatments, such as wax, silicone, or polymer coatings. Apply a strip of masking tape firmly, then peel it off to test adhesion. If it comes off easily or doesn’t stick, you’ll need a special surface cleaning. Mix a 32-oz bottle of water with about five tablespoons of detergent (such as Johnson’s Baby Shampoo or Palmolive Dish Soap). Wash the surface thoroughly to remove any contaminants.
After washing, scrub the surface with alcohol and dry it completely. Test again with masking tape to ensure proper adhesion. If the tape sticks well, you’re ready to continue. If not, repeat the cleaning process until a good tack is achieved. Once ready, apply the adhesive promoter included with your stainless steel kit. This is not a cleaner but an adhesive accelerator that ensures a strong bond when applied to a clean surface.
2. After preparing the surface, pre-shape the stainless steel part so it fits the surface perfectly. Gently shape it by hand, a little at a time, until it conforms naturally without pressure. The part should look properly aligned even before sticking it down. Taking your time here ensures it won’t lift or pop off later.
3. Once your surface is ready and the part has been shaped, carefully peel off the red release liner from the back. The adhesive is very strong and cannot be repositioned once it contacts the surface, so proceed slowly and precisely. Align all holes and edges, press the part firmly along its entire surface to bond it securely, and then remove the protective liner. The bond will continue to strengthen over time.
