Application

 

Cut the tip of the cartridge taking care not to damage the thread. Fix nozzle, cut aperture to required width and apply with a standard sealant gun.

As a nail replacement (panel) adhesive.

• Surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and free from dust, grease, loose material etc.

• Prime dusty surfaces with EVERBUILD PVA BOND diluted 1:4 with water and allow to dry.

• Apply using a standard sealant gun, cut tip of cartridge, apply nozzle and cut an opening to suite the required bead

  size.

• For bonding heavy items (Plasterboard/worktops/wall panels etc) apply adhesive all the way around the edge of the

  item (30-50mm from edge) and cover back with beads of adhesive at 300mm intervals. Alternatively, apply adhesive

  direct to battens and press into place. NOTE.

• With heavy items, always provide temporary support until the adhesive dries.

• For bonding lightweight items (covings, dado rails, skirting etc) apply adhesive to back of item in one or two continuous beads and press immediately into place.

• Where gap filling is required, mark the areas where there is a large gap and apply a thicker bead to these areas.

  In all cases, clean up excess adhesive immediately with a cloth/white spirits.

As a sealant         

Reference should be made to the recommended joint ratios.  If necessary reduce joint depth using Everflex Expanding Foam, or Joint backer rod.  Furthermore, ensure that the joint design only permits adhesion to two surfaces, as three sided adhesion will impair flexibility.

Where the sealant is used in a joint configuration, masking tape should be used to prevent contamination of adjacent substrates, and ensure a neat sealing line. Masking tape should be removed immediately after tooling. The joint should be tooled within 5 minutes of application to ensure good contact between the sealant and the substrate.  Tooling of the sealant also gives a smooth, professional finish.

 

Fixing mirrors

 

Apply 6mm diameter beads of sealant direct to back of mirror in vertical strips, spaced at 30-40mm centers. Immediately place mirror in position and secure with good, even pressure with a slight twist action. Provide temporary support (tape) until adhesive has dried (24-48 hours).  If required, STIX-ALL may also be used to seal around mirror 24 hours after fixing (to allow for cure)

 

Uncured material can be removed by wiping with a dampened cloth with white spirit.  Cured material can be carefully removed by mechanical means. Full cure must be allowed before over painting.
