• Try to store Microdot Protection Kits at temperatures between 60 – 95º F and out of the sun.
Adhesive will freeze at 32º F or below. If product does freeze, let product thaw completely before using.
• When installing Microdots on items that have been stored outside, it is mandatory that sufficient
time should be allowed to warm/cool the item to room temperature for proper adhesion.
• If installing Microdots outside, ensure temperature of item is above 60º F and parts are clean
and dry for installation.
• Have appropriate cleaning materials available (paper towels, isopropyl alcohol).
• All areas where Microdots are to be installed must be free of dirt, grease, oil, and silicon based
detailing materials (armor all, etc.) for adhesion of glue.
• Keep container of Microdots sealed when not in use.
• Install in a well ventilated area.
