Designed for a Secure, Long-Term Bond
Although the gasket includes a self-adhesive backing, correct installation requires a combination of thorough priming, super glue application, firm downforce and full curing time. These steps work together to ensure the gasket bonds permanently to the lid surface and withstands heat, moisture and vacuum pressure during use.
How to Replace the Recovery Tank Lid Gasket
-
Remove the old gasket: Peel away the existing gasket from the lid.
-
Prime and clean the surface: Use Label Remover 400ml Aerosol to remove all adhesive residue. The surface must be fully cleaned and primed to ensure proper bonding.
-
Apply super glue: Apply a zig‑zag pattern of super glue (not supplied) around the central adhesion area of the primed lid. This step is essential and works together with the gasket’s self-adhesive backing to create a strong, permanent bond.
-
Fit the new gasket: Peel back the self‑adhesive backing and carefully apply the gasket to the lid, ensuring even contact all the way around.
-
Apply downforce and allow to cure: Close the lid, place a folded towel on top, then place a full 5‑litre bottle on the towel. The weight provides steady downward pressure, pushing the gasket firmly onto the bonding surface. Leave for 3 hours to allow the adhesive and super glue to fully cure.
