Preparation
  • Prepare this surface by first painting with a Latex Masonry Sealer. Allow to dry for 24 hours.
  • Before starting to hang the fabric, apply a coat of adhesive to the surface and allow it to dry for 24 hours.
  • For maximum adhesion, apply adequate sealer to fill the "valleys" of the surface.
  • Clean surface.
  • Surface preparation is not necessary.
  • Clean surface.
  • Surface preparation is advisable but may not always be necessary.
  • If sealing is necessary, adhesives may be used as a sealer...let dry for 24 hours.
Application
  • Adhesives should only be applied to the surface, never to the fabric.
  • This is a directional fabric. Hang each strip in the same direction to avoid color differences caused by pile directional changes.
  • If using a roller, apply a light coat of adhesive to the surface to avoid bleed through to the face of the fabric. Adhesive may also be brushed or sprayed onto the surface.
  • White glues with a high viscosity (liquidity) should be allowed set-up time before applying fabric to avoid bleed through. You may want to use tacks to hold fabric in place. Allow applied fabric 24 hours to cure.

Installation Alerts or other Miscellaneous Information
  • Mineral based adhesives are not recommended for unventilated areas in offices, museums, showrooms, etc.
  • Remove excess adhesive immediately after each seam is completed using a water dampened sponge, if applicable.
  • Hot melt adhesives set-up quickly, usually used in production line set-up.
  • Mineral based adhesives are not recommended for unventilated areas in offices, museums, showrooms, etc.
  • Remove excess adhesive immediately after each seam is completed using a water dampened sponge, if applicable.
  • Hot melt adhesives set-up quickly, usually used In production line set-up.
  • Surface preparation will help in the later removal of the fabric.
  • When removing, if a water based adhesive was used, soaking or steaming will help loosen the adhesive.
  • Mineral based adhesives are not recommended for unventilated areas in offices, museums, showrooms, etc.
  • Remove excess adhesive immediately after each seam is completed using a water dampened sponge, if applicable.
