Description ALLPRO® Border Adhesive is a professional high tack adhesive designed specifically for hanging borders over vinyl wallcovering. It is much better suited for hanging borders than commercial vinyl-over-vinyl products.

 

Prominent Features

» For vinyl-over-vinyl applications
» Provides tight bond of edges/seams
» No priming or sizing required
» For all borders, including pre-pasted

Uses Recommended for hanging borders over existing wallcovering including vinyls.

 

Limitations Not recommended for use on painted surfaces, primed or bare drywall, nor rough surfaces such as concrete block, stucco, and rough plaster.

 

Surface Preparation Surface must be free from grease and other residues, dry, smooth and structurally sound. Check surfaces for loose wallcoverings. Repair all unsound surfaces. Before proceeding with any unusual conditions, consult your adhesive or wallcovering supplier.

 

Application Use only when the room temperature is above 50ºF (10ºC). For best results, moisten the back of pre-pasted borders with a damp sponge. Apply a full-bodied, thin, even coat that covers the entire surface. IMPORTANT NOTE: a thick coat is less effective than a thin coat. Avoid contact with the front of the border.

 

Clean Up Before the adhesive dries, remove excess with warm, clean water. Additional effort may be required if the adhesive is allowed to contact the surface of embossed or textured vinyls. IMPORTANT NOTE: the adhesive will be very difficult to clean up after it is dry.

 

Disposal Contains organic solvents which may cause adverse effects to the environment if disposed of improperly. Place empty containers in normal refuse for disposal. Contact your local sanitation department or household hazardous waste coordinator for information concerning possible reuse or disposal of unused solvent-containing paints, primers or adhesives.
