    1. Mask hull area (Figure 9) around foundation saddles for easy clean-up and to create an outline of surface area to receive adhesive as shown in Figure 8. Ensure that the bond gap is within adhesive manufacturer’s recommended thickness, or 3 mm if using Plexus MA590.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      1. Raise fixture clear of foundation. Check all four mounting areas are co-planar to within .13 in. (3 mm) to each other, as well as parallel to the water line plane, as shown in Figure 8.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        1. Remove any paint or gel-coat from bond surfaces so that adhesive will bond directly to laminate fibers and resin.<\/li>
        2. Thoroughly sand girder bond surfaces with 80 grit sandpaper. (IMPORTANT \u2013 BOND STRENGTH MAY BE REDUCED IF THIS STEP IS SKIPPED.)<\/strong><\/li>
        3. Wipe surfaces clean from dust with alcohol or acetone using new paper towels, not shop rags.<\/li>
        4. Re-position installation fixture on girders and double-check that the adhesive gap is within the adhesive manufacturer\u2019s maximum recommended thickness. Seakeeper<\/span> recommends a maximum gap of 3 mm if using Plexus MA590.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
