The use
of K-Grip is easy; nevertheless a few points must be considered!
Although K-Grip is extremely hard, the suitability of the base
material must be considered before the work can begin. The adhesion of
K-Grip is reliant on the strength of the material it is applied to. In
extreme situations, the cured K-Grip can be forced off, taking an
amount of the base material with it. This particularly applies to
materials that are prone to dusting, delaminating, etc. |
| |
|
| Cut a 1/8" deep x
3/16" wide groove, or simply score the center of the area for the
proposed K-Grip profile.
Roughen the surface, each side of the
groove, to the width of the proposed K-Grip profile with sandpaper
(silicone carbide). |
 |
| Clean all dust etc. from
the area and clean with K-Cleaner (recommended) or an alcohol-based
cleaner. After cleaning the surface, wait at least 15 minutes to let
the K-Cleaner dry.
The surface must be dry, clean, and
free of grease and dust. Although the K-Grip has excellent adhesive
properties, dust and moisture may affect this. |
 |
| Remove the white paper
backing from the K-Grip tape and apply a strip either side of the
groove to the width of the required profile.
To prevent K-Grip from getting on other
unwanted areas, masking tape can be applied to either side of the
K-Grip tape. If some K-Grip spills over on to the base material,
remove with a clean cloth using the K-Cleaner (use caution on porous
surfaces).
For the easiest application, it is best
for the K-Grip cartridge to be at room temperature. |
 |
| Un-screw and keep the white
plastic retaining nut. Pull the silver washer off and dispose of it
and the green plastic plug.
Place the static mixing nozzle onto the
top of the cartridge and screw on the white plastic retaining nut to
hold the nozzle in place.
Set the two-tube cartridge into the
applicator (small tube first). Exert only low pressure! Never
press firmly.
|
 |
| The first 2" (5cm) of
K-Grip must be ejected from the mixing nozzle and discarded, as it may
not be properly mixed. This is absolutely essential
every time a new mixing nozzle and/or cartridge is used. (It is
necessary to make certain that the 2 parts of K-Grip are evenly mixed
or it will not set up properly!) |
