and use proper care.
If molding is not securely in place, hold it down with
a tape until adhesive is completely set.
Each adhesive has its own setting time.
Be sure to refer to its maker's instruction, check set-
ting time of adhesive to be used and observe precau-
tions to be taken before adhesive is set.
Refrain from driving till adhesive is completely set so
as to ensure proper and sufficient adhesion.
