Installation: Clean bottom of bathtub
thoroughly
-
Locate the final position of the inlay where you want
it by laying the inlay in the bathtub.
-
Place a row of tape on the bathtub bottom around the
inlay. Leave a 1/2 inch of the bathtub bottom exposed around the inlay
while doing this.
-
Now remove the inlay and overlap another row of tape
on the inside of the first row of tape you just applied to the bathtub
bottom.
-
Fold some tape over itself to form a 2 sided tape.
Place this 2 sided tape on the bottom of the inlay on the corners. This
is to hold the inlay in place while you are working so it won't move
around. Now place the inlay back onto the bathtub bottom , in place and
over the tape you just installed
-
While holding the inlay in place, and using the razor
knife, cut through the tape all along the edges of the inlay.
-
Once this is done, remove the inlay and remove the
tape from the bottom of the inlay. Now remove only the section of tape
that was directly under the inlay leaving the rest of the tape that was
bordering the inlay edges. The reason for this is when you are applying
the adhesive to the inlay and installing the inlay, excess adhesive will
get on the tape and will be easily removed when you remove the tape
after completion.
-
Before proceeding make sure all cracked areas, holes
etc are smooth before installing the inlay. Holes may be filled with
expanding foam and once the foam is dry, make sure the excess foam is
trimmed smooth before continuing.
-
Sand Bottom of the bathtub where the inlay is going (
stay inside the tape ) make sure surface gloss is sanded dull and any
silicone or debris is removed.
-
Vacuum debris from sanding and wash the sanded area
with denatured alcohol, acetone or lacquer thinner.
-
Put on gloves, eye protection, and solvent respirator
or mask. Mix part A and part B in bucket provided. Mix thoroughly.
Once mixed you have a maximum of 30 minutes to work with the adhesive
and finish installing the inlay.
-
Spread the adhesive evenly on the bottom of the inlay
approx. 1/8 inch thick.
-
Adhesive may also be used to fill in any valleys or
to float uneven areas of the bathtub under the inlay prior to actually
installing the inlay.
-
Place inlay on the bathtub bottom and into final
position.
-
Using the roller or PVC pipe, start rolling over the
inlay while applying pressure to spread the adhesive. Start at the
center of the inlay working your way out to the edges. Do this all
around the inlay. You will see excess adhesive squeezing out from the
edges.
-
Remove the excess adhesive as soon as you are done
rolling the inlay by wetting a paper towel with denatured alcohol,
acetone or lacquer thinner. Do not get the paper towel too wet as you
may work some of the solvent under the inlay while removing excess
adhesive.
-
Now roll the inlay again. This time along the width
then the length of the inlay.
-
Be sure all adhesive is removed from the bathtub
surface and any part of the inlay surface. If not, the adhesive will
etch the tub surface and the inlay if left on too long.
-
Remove the masking tape.
-
Now roll the edges of the inlay.
-
Do a final wash with solvent to be sure all adhesive
is removed.
-
Do Not Get The Bathtub Wet For 48 Hours.
