How to Install Spectis Deco Flex Moulding
DECO FLEX MOULDING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (INDOOR USE ONLY!)
Spectis Moulders Deco Flex is installed by using a combination of solvent based contact cement and ADH100 Adhesive, applying the contact cement near the outer edges of the ceiling/wall interfaces, and the ADH100 adhesive in the interior contact areas. The use of the contact cement allows sufficient time to pass for the ADH100 adhesive to cure and take over bonding control.
Deco Flex Moulding (Indoors Use Only!)
Spectis Moulders' Deco flex is installed by using a combination of solvent based contact cement and ADH100 Adhesive, applying the contact cement near the outer edges of the ceiling / wall interfaces, and the ADH100 adhesive in the interior contact areas. The use of the contact cement allows sufficient time to pass for the ADH100 adhesive to cure and take over bonding control.
Installation of Deco Flex can be installed using the following procedure:
- Pre-fit each section of product before application of adhesive. Apply contact cement to the contact areas of the moulding and wall/ceiling areas. Once the contact cement has been, allowed to dry, apply the ADH100 adhesive to the interior contact edges of the moulding. Install beginning from one end of the moulding and working towards the other. Be sure to have some assistance while doing this. It may be necessary to use nails / screws to aide in supporting the moulding while the ADH100 adhesive cures. Make sure the contact cement is used on all running and butt joints.
- Once the adhesive is cured, (approx. 2 days) the product can be filled, primed, and painted as per standard quality painting procedures. High quality oil base products only are recommended for good results. Be sure to use a matching primer and top-coat. Note that the oil base product requires more time than usual to become tack free due to the characteristics of the flexible product, but this is not a concern. Be sure to not put any weight on the moulding after it is patched and painted, as it may crack the finish.
Note: Deco Flex is best installed with assistance.
