17.0 Multimode Polish
17.1 Perform an air polish by holding the 9 micron lapping
film firmly in one hand and gently moving the film in
a circular motion for approximately 10 strokes or until
approximately one half of the bead height is removed.
Note: You can polish approximately 20 connectors with
each piece of 9 micron lapping film.
17.2 Using a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol clean the
connector after the air polish to remove all debris left
by the 9 micron lapping film.
17.3 Clean the round polishing pad found in the 3M
™
Universal Hot Melt Kit 6365/6361 with a lint-free
cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
17.4 Place several drops of alcohol onto the round
polishing pad.
17.5 Before alcohol evaporates, place a sheet of the pale
green 2 micron lapping film, shiny side down on the
pad. The alcohol creates suction on the lapping film
and helps hold it in place.
17.6 Clean the lapping film with a lint-free cloth moistened
with isopropyl alcohol.
Note : The 2 micron lapping film can be used for up to 4
connectors.
