4 Using an aerosol can, spray a liberal amount of cavity wax into the front and rear drain
holes (1). In order to get full coverage in the door seam, spray at an upward angle, parallel
to the edge of the door.
Note: In order to avoid a lack of coverage, it is important that only the tip of the straw is
placed into the opening of the drain hole.
Note: To promote even flow and application of the cavity wax, shake the can regularly.

5 In order to get full coverage along the bottom door seam, spray cavity wax at a horizontal
angle in the bottom drain holes. While applying the cavity wax, spray for five to fifteen
seconds until the wax seeps from the next adjoining drain hole. Normally, wax should seep
from the next drain hole within this time period.
Note: For even coverage, spray in the bottom drain holes from both directions, front
and rear.
