Strip and clean with MEK.
Rebond with two part PVC
adhesive.
It is vital to use lots of MEK in order to decontaminate the surface, remove loose plasticizers, chemically abrade, and swell the material to prepare it for receiving
adhesive.
During the application phase, it is vital that the humidity and temperature be less than 85F / 65% RH. Isocyanate reactants are very sensitive to moisture until they are cured.
