INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Make sure both surfaces are free of dust, clean and dry.
On nonporous substructures such as glass, tile or metal, priming or sealing is not
necessary. If used on porous substructure, use a primer or sealer on dry, clean
substructure and allow it to dry. Never apply primer or sealer or QwikSet to a painted
surface or wall covering.
2. Cut the spout on the cartridge so it will dispense the
desired size bead or pat of QwikSet.
3. Apply sufficient QwikSet so that when the mirror is
pressed into place the adhesive will cover approximately 60% of the back of the mirror.
Leave an air space between the beads or pats to allow the adhesive to set up. With
mirror-to-mirror or mirror-to-glass overlays the beads or pats should be 1/32 to 1/16 of
an inch in thickness when the mirror is pressed into place. Care should be taken to make
sure that QwikSet is not applied too heavy or close to the edge causing "squeeze
out" that will have to be cleaned off. Any clean up should be done with mineral
spirits.

L-hangers, pins or "J"-channel.
5. For best adhesion both the mirror and the substrate
should be above 40ºF (4.4°C).
