- Limitations
- Apply between 40°F and 100°F.
- Always test plastic materials and painted surfaces for compatibility when using a solvent base product.
- Allow to dry to a solvent-free condition before installing weld pins.
- Make certain this product is completely dry and the area free from solvent odor if food is involved.
- Preparation and Application Information
Material Preparation
- Stir well. Do not thin. No need to prime aluminum or galvanized metal. Apply only to clean, dry surfaces. Keep container closed when not in use to prevent solvent evaporation.
Application
- Insulation Attachment
- Use a clean paintbrush. Apply Foster® Stic-Safe® Adhesive to the metal surface at 250 sq. ft/gal. (6.1 m2/l) using full coverage. Press insulation into place, making sure complete contact is made with applied adhesive. Bond may be made within 0 to 15 minutes open time.
- Lap and Tape Sealing
- Use a good quality paintbrush. Apply Stic-Safe Adhesive uniformly to the foil side or underside of overlap at 75 sq. ft./gal (1.8 m2/l), allow adhesive to set until very tacky (normally 2 to 10 minutes), and press lap or tape firmly into place.
Clean Up
- Use a solvent such as chlorinated solvent (non-flammable) or mineral spirits (flammable) for cleaning brushes and equipment.
