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.
