Pressure
sensative adhesives will not stick permanently to unfinished wood as the
resins will adversly affect the adhesive. The adhesive must be adhered
to the glazing for permanence. |
|
**
|
Manufacturer's
note: No pressure sensitive adhesives are permanent. Temperature,
humidity, and the persistance of gravity will eventually overcome bond.
The adhesive used on Econospace is much thicker and stronger than the
others and because Econospace is lighter, it will work fine for smaller
frames. Test results are from an independant lab comparison test using
3" of engagement on glass. Test report available upon request. |
|
***
|
No
instructions included in package. Spacer will move with the glazing the
amount of the allowance and possibly move spacer into view. If spacer is
used with 1/8" allowance and engaged half on - half off glazing to
"center" the glazing, this reduces adhesive engagement and
thereby reduces bond strength and longevity. |
