APPLICATION

Surface Preparation:

Only apply to surfaces that are clean, dry, sound and free of dust oil or contamination. Clean metal with mineral turps or white spirits. Adhesion to metals can be further improved by light sanding.

Placement:

Flooring and Wall Panels - Apply a wavy 5mm diameter. Bead to each joist, batten or stud. Where sheets will butt together, apply 5mm beads along both edges of that joist, batten or stud so each sheet edge will be on a glue line.

Floors - Fit sheet to joist within 15 minutes. Nail or screw sheets to joists at 150mm centers around the perimeter and 300mm centers through the middle, or per manufacturers instructions. Use putty knife to remove any adhesive squeezed out between the sheets.

Walls - Fit panel to stud within 15 minutes and press firmly into position. To speed up the bonding, tilt panel back for a few minutes to allow solvent to escape. Refit panel making sure glue line matches up. Press firmly together. Nail or screw panels as for floors per manufacturers instructions. If not nailing or screwing, brace panel for at least 24 hours, until set.

When bonding a sheet or panel to a large, flat surface, apply full length 5mm diameter. Beads every 30-40cm. Press into position and brace until set.

Clean Up:

Clean wet material with mineral turpentine, and dry material with a scraper or sandpaper.

Storage:

Note best before date printed on the bottom of the cartridge.

Yield:

One cartridge will give 15 lineal meters of a 5mm bead, or 2 sheets of 1.2 x 2.4 meter panel.
