o
F (191
o
C) to
750
o
F (399
o
C). Extended cure cycles of twelve (12) hours or
longer at intermediate temperatures of 400 F (204 C) to 600 F
(315 C) are possible.

APPLICATION:
Apply by hand to a clean dry tool or platen with release paper on
top. When the sealant is in position remove the release paper
and lay the film on top. Apply pressure by hand or roller on the
sealant to obtain maximum adhesion and to ensure positive
vacuum. A hot roller or iron (not to exceed 400 F [204 C] can be
used to apply pressure on the sealant. It is recommended to
strip below 150
o
F (66
o
C) to minimize or reduce the parts from
becoming warped. SM5160 can be stripped without leaving a
residue on metal tool surfaces that have been cooled to room
temperature.
