Repair of heating filaments in rear window heating (Renault Symbol 1)

Using alcohol or glass cleaner, clean the repair area to remove dust and grease, then wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.

To obtain a straight line, cover the area to be repaired on both sides with adhesive tape, leaving only the damaged thread itself exposed.

Before applying the varnish, shake the bottle to remove any silvery sediment from the bottom.

Apply a sufficient layer of varnish with a thin brush. If applying several (no more than three) layers, observe the drying time of each layer.

If a drip does form, it can be removed with a knife or razor blade after a few hours, when the product has completely hardened.

The adhesive tape used as a guide can be removed only approximately one hour after application. The tape is torn off by applying force perpendicular to the thread in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 8.54). At an air temperature of 20°C, the varnish dries completely after three hours. At lower temperatures, the drying time increases somewhat.
