CAUTION Glass surfaces exposed to sunlight will absorb heat. A glass surface covered by a film with high opacity or dark-colored ink, including films with small areas of high opacity or dark-colored ink, will absorb more heat. Heat absorption can create thermal stress that results in glass breakage, or thermal cracking. This can cause personal injury or property damage. 3M specifically does not recommend using a film with high opacity or dark-colored ink on glass surfaces with significant exposure to sunlight.

CAUTION 3M recommends using 3M™ Edge Sealer Tape 8914 around the perimeter of the graphic to prevent dirt and other contaminants from causing the graphic to prematurely curl and fail. Pressure-sensitive Adhesive This film has a pressure-sensitive adhesive. It bonds to the surface even with light pressure and cannot be repositioned. Maintenance and Cleaning Use a cleaner designed for high-quality painted surfaces. The cleaner must be wet, non-abrasive, without strong solvents, and have a pH value between 3 and 11 (neither strongly acidic nor strongly alkaline). See 3M Instruction Bulletin 6.5 for details. Removal Removal may require heat. The ease and rate of removal depends on a number of factors. See 3M Instruction Bulletin 6.5 for details. Shelf Life, Storage and Shipping Shelf Life The shelf life is never more than 1 year from the date of manufacture on the original box. Storage Conditions • at an ambient temperature less than 86 F (30 C) • Out of sunlight • Clean, dry area • Original container • Bring the film to print room temperature before using Shipping Finished Graphics Flat, or rolled printed side out on 6 inch (15 cm) or larger core. This helps prevent the liner, and, if used, the application tape from popping off. 3M Commercial Solutions 3M Center Building 220­12E-04 St. Paul, MN 55144­1000 1­888­328-3908 Fax 651-736-4233 3Mgraphics.com 3M Canada PO Box 5757 London, ON N6A 4T1 1-800-265-1840 Fax 519-452-6245 3M México S.A. de C.V.
