Description ALLPRO® Border Adhesive for painted surfaces is designed for applying pre-pasted borders over painted surfaces. It has all of the advantages of activators, and when used over painted surfaces, makes it easy to remove the border when it comes time to redecorate the room.

 

Prominent Features

» For use with all types of pre-pasted borders
» Provides tight bond of edges & seams
» Easy to apply & cleanup

Uses Recommended for hanging pre-pasted borders over surfaces painted with latex and acrylic type coatings.

 

Limitations Not recommended for use on bare drywall, nor oil/alkyd primers or paints. Prime oil/alkyd surfaces with an ALLPRO primer such as ULTRA•PREP™, SUP•R•PREP™ or E•Z•PREP™. Do not use for applying pre-pasted borders to existing wallcoverings, use ALLPRO Professional Border Adhesive.

 

Surface Preparation Surface must be free from grease and other residues, dry, smooth and structurally sound. Check surfaces for paint bonding, loose wallcoverings, damaged wallboard or plaster by cutting a small X with a sharp knife and attempt removal with a small piece of "Scotch" tape. 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.

 

Disposal Border Adhesive for painted surfaces is water based and does not contain organic solvents. 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 water based paints, primers or adhesives.
