Installation

• Clean surface of frame if soiled.
• Use the alcohol swabs provided as a final wipe to ensure that the surfaces are spotless.
• Porous surfaces such as raw timber and concrete must be sealed. If surfaces are left unsealed the natural oils and moisture leach out hindering the performance of the adhesive.
• The surface of your frame must be clean and sound i.e. no flaky or old paint. New paint must be fully cured.
• Install adhesive hook on clean, dry surfaces only.
• Hook should be installed at room temp. of 18°C or higher for best results. If applied at a temp. lower, warm frame and hook (with hair dryer) to increase bond.
• Do not touch the adhesive, not even with hands and ensure that your scissors are clean too.
• Do not pre-cut hook and attach to the screen; attach directly to window frame, one side at a time and cut.
• The hook cannot be lifted and repositioned.
• Resistance to edge peeling can be improved by nipping or rounding corner of hook.
• Mitre hook for curves. Butt join square corners.
• Apply pressure to hook with Stanley knife handle or teaspoon to activate the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive.
• Allow curing, don't use screens for 24 hours. All folds will fall out.
• If corners lift then this is an indication that the tape has been contaminated during installation this can be resolved with a drop of super glue.
• Fresh paint must be cured for 3-4months before installing your Flexiscreens fly screens, paint vapours inhibit the strong performance of the glue.
• Don't forget, the adhesive is pressure sensitive so ensure that you apply pressure to the whole strip of hook. Pay extra attention to corners as these sometimes get over looked.
