Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - Dash panel tips and tricks by Chuck.

Whichever kit you get make sure you heed this advice, you can get the extra adhesive promoter from Amazon. I got the wipes

n the kits, dash and door, I ordered I received 4 3M 94 Primer tubes. This is not enough so when ordering be sure to get at least 8. My opinion. The Primer is an accelerator for the adhesive on the back of the panels and MUST be used on any long section edges like the door panels, waterfall etc. and absolutely must be used anywhere there is a curve. You can also order a tube of Bond Prep # 4298. This is also an accelerator in a larger tube and I suggest you do this. Having too much accelerator is much better than not having enough. On my coming GXP I will use it on the entire curved surfaces and on the entire door panels. The tubes have a soft built in end that use use like a paint brush over the surface before you apply the panel. It makes the bond very strong. You do not need it on perfectly flat surfaces but then again it doesn't hurt either.
