Step 1

Cut the nozzle of the StyroFIX cartridge to allow for a 5mm bead.

Step 2

Try and work quickly from this point forward. On the back-side of the ThermaSlab Edge apply a bead of StyroFIX the whole way along the top edge of the ThermaSlab Edge.

Step 3

Apply a bead of StyroFIX in a wavy line the whole length of the board as shown. The frequency between each wave of adhesive shall be not less than 125mm apart, be sure to make good coverage.

The ratio is one tube of StyroFIX for each ThermaSlab Edge panel.

Step 4

Apply ThermaSlab Edge to the desired area of the slab edge and apply firm even pressure to board.

Step 5

Remove the ThermaSlab Edge panel from the wall and place down carefully, let sit for one minute – this is to allow a reaction to happen in the StyroFIX which will make it tackier and allow the two surfaces to bond better.

Step 6

Place the ThermaSlab Edge panel back in the desired position – be careful with this placement as depending on conditions the board could be very hard to move once this placement has been made.

Step 7

Support and brace the panel until the StyroFIX cures.

Use the EXPOL Patch-Kit to cover joins and make repairs to your ThermaSlab Edge or MAXEdge Insulation.

EXPOL Polystyrene Insulation is coated with our 100% water-based, water-proof resin and recycled glass aggregate, kiln dried between coats.

A three-coat acrylic paint finish can be applied to finished products.

A light weight, solid concrete look developed for New Zealand conditions.

Please read instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.

Precautions:

• Do not breathe vapours
• Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing
• Use personal protective equipment when handling
• Contain spills immediately with inert materials (e.g. sand)
• Keep spills and cleaning run off from entering sewers and drains
• Wash hands thoroughly after handling
• Keep containers tightly closed at all times
• Store in a well-ventilated space

Instructions:

SURFACE PREPARATION:

1. Ensure the surface of the insulation is clean and dry where EXPOL Patch-Kit is to be used.
2. If there are any large gaps between panels of more than 3mm these will need to filled with an MS sealant such as Sikaflex MS or Bostik MS Safe Seal.
3. Thoroughly mix the EXPOL Patch-Kit compound until it reaches an even consistency.

APPLICATION:

1. Apply the compound liberally to joins or areas that need repair with a metal broadknife or similar.
2. Use the uncoated side of a piece of ThermaSlab Edge or MAXEdge board to rub over the freshly applied area, use circular motions and apply pressure until area looks smooth and uniform.
3.  Leave to dry.
4. The compound will look much darker than the original coating but will cure to the same colour over time

EXPOL Patch-Kit compound can be reconstituted long after initial use. If you need to make repairs down the line and you find your Patch-Kit has dried out simply add a small amount of water while mixing until reaching the original consistency
