  5. Buff the grid lines that are to be repaired with steel wool. Wipe the lines clean using a cloth dampened with alcohol. Buff and clean about 6 mm (0.25 inch) beyond each side of the break in the grid line.
  6. Attach a grid line repair decal or two strips of tape above and below the repair areas.
    • A repair decal or tape must be used in order to control the width of the repair areas.
    • If a decal is used, the die-cut metered slot must be the same width as the grid line.
  7. Apply the grid repair material to the repair area using a small wooden stick or a spatula. The grid repair material should be at room temperature.
  8. Carefully remove the decal or the tape.
