Metal profiles should be cleaned with the cleaner (but not wood). Apply primer according to the material: wood, aluminum, and steel each require their own type of primer.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Double-sided tape.<\/strong>  Apply a continuous strip of double-sided tape along the stud, leaving the protective paper on for now to keep dust off. The tape holds the panel in place while the adhesive cures and ensures a minimum adhesive thickness of 3 mm, which absorbs expansion and vibrations. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Adhesive cord.<\/strong>  Apply a continuous vertical bead of elastic adhesive, parallel to the tape and at least 5 mm away from it, using a triangular nozzle (8 \u00d7 10 mm) and holding the caulking gun perpendicular to the profile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place the panel.<\/strong>  Remove the backing paper from the tape, position the panel without pressing down so you can adjust it, and, once it is aligned, press firmly until it touches the tape along its entire length.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"pc-note\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> Long-term durability comes solely from the adhesive, not the tape.
