After the adhesive bead has been applied, the window glass must be fitted within 5 to 10 minutes (depending on air humidity, temperature and use of accelerator).

1-hour system: 

Once the adhesive bead has been applied, the window glass must be installed within 7 minutes (depending on air humidity, temperature).

After 7 minutes the adhesive bead forms a skin which can no longer guarantee a perfect bond.
