room temperature before removing from the boxes. Allow the
surfaceto rest and flatten before installation.

STEP 1
MEASURE AND MARK
7/24/2019 Adhesion Method2
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/adhesion-method2 5/18
Measure and markSet up the laser lever and project a line 1" above the projected image.
Find the overall centerline of the system. Each surface is 124" (314 cm) long and should extend 1" past the projectedimage. Once you have found the centerline, use a straight edge to mark the entire length of the centerline.

STEP 2
ALIGNING SURFACE 1

Peel the adhesive linerCarefully flip one of the surfaces so the adhesive liner is facing up. Fold down a 6-inch widfrom the edge of the surface to where the liner is cut in the center. Fold down a corner of
on the other side of the cut line.

Align surface 1
Do not let the exposed adhesive touch the wall during this step.

STEP 3
ADHERING SURFACE 1

Adhere the top of the surface
Person B presses the exposed adhesive
against the wall ̶ ensuring it is level
with the laser line ̶ then firmly smoothes
the top of the surface against the wall.
Hold the surface in place
Once the surface is aligned, person A holds thesurface firmly against the wall.

Remove the adhesive liner
While person A holds their side of the surface, person B pulls the bottom of the surface away fromthe wall to remove the release liner . Do not bend the surface at a sharp angle as this can causekinking.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/adhesion-method2 12/18
Begin adhering the surface to the wall
Starting from the top of the surface and moving downward, person B begins to press the surface against the
wall with overlapping up-and-down strokes to prevent bubbles from forming under the surface.

Adhere the second half of surface 1
Once the first half is adhered, person A pulls the surface away from the wall from the side carefully while avoiding
kinking the surface in the center. Person B goes behind the surface to remove the adhesive liner from the second half of
the surface.
Person A holds the outside edge of the surface while person B smoothes it against the wall using up-and-down stokes.

Peel the adhesive liner
Carefully flip the other surface so the adhesive liner is facing up. Fold down a 6-inch wide vethe surface that will touch the system centerline. Fold down the corner of the liner on the o

Align and secure surface 2
Person A and person B hold the surface up to the wall. Person A aligns the inside edge of the surface with thesurface that has already been installed. Once the center edge is completely aligned, person A smoothes downthe exposed adhesive to secure the edge of surface 2 against surface 1.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/adhesion-method2 17/18
Person B walks the edge of the surface away from the wall so person A can get behind the surface to remove the linerfrom where it was folded.
While person B holds the outside edge, person A goes back to the front of the surface and smoothes that half of thesurface against the wall starting at the centerline using overlapping up-and-down strokes.
Once person A adheres that side of the surface, person A then goes behind the surface again to remove the second
half of the liner to smooth that side of the surface against the wall.

Roller both surfaces
Apply pressure to both the surfaces using the 3" roller to promote proper adhesion. The surface is now readyfor use.
