I just got a chance to finish. Here is the gun that I puchased, it allowed me to put down clean beads of Betalink

It was $56 CAD, so probably $10 USD ....

Here is what it looked like with the previous masking in place to prevent any excess BetaLink from getting on the paint

My Z brackets were a little different from what was illustrated in the instructions

so how much time did you use to put the glue on the parts and then how much time do you use to put the front splitter up?

Betalink K2 starts to set pretty quickly, within 5 minutes. I put the glue on the inside of the brackets and screwed them into the bumper. By the time I had finished doing that, I had to change the nozzle as the tip was already plugged.

I put the betalink on the inside of the lip and put it on, there isn't much time to adjust it to get it right before the betalink sets. Drive away is 1 hour with full cure in 4 hours.

Highly recommend a second set up hands to help line up the lip
