SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD

SURFACE PREPARATION

Temperature and environmental concerns:

• Ideal application environment is 70-100ºF in 50% humidity or less.
• Minimum application temperature: 50ºF
• This temperature and humidity should be maintained for 72 hours after application for maximum holding force.

Using a 50/50 alcohol mix, thoroughly clean the backside of the fixture and the surface area where fixture will be installed.
Allow 5 minutes to dry. For porous materials (Wood, Brick, Concrete etc.) apply two layers of paint or primer to the surface. This will help create a better bonding surface for these materials. This can be purchased from local hardware store.

SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: VHB ADHESIVE MOUNT
BEFORE installation, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned and dried for maximum bond strength. (Page 5)

Determine the fixture(s) location and positioning on desired surface before adhering fixture to surface. Make any necessary reference markings to indicate extrusion placement.

1. To adhere the VHB adhesive, peel the white film back while evenly applying the tape to the mounting side of the extrusion. The red side should be visible.
2. Remove the red film and position extrusion in place according to your previous reference marking(s).

Remove protective film from the surface of the extrusion’s lens.

NOTES: EPOXY ALTERNATIVE: For improved bonding strength, apply a small amount of epoxy at each end. Refer to table on for suggested epoxies. These can be purchased at a local hardware store. Please follow all manufacturer instructions for suggested  epoxy. page 5

SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: WHITE SNUG CLIP

• 2 clips provided per first 12”, 1 for each additional 12”

Determine the fixture(s) location and positioning on desired surface; evenly distribute clips. Make any necessary reference markings to indicate where each clip is to be secured in place. Recommended every 12”.

• Secure clips using the #4 flat head hardware provided
• Ensure the screw head is flush with the clip’s base.

NOTE: Flat head screw type is dependent on surface/application material Alternative flat head screws may be required. Refer to the surface material manufacturer for suggested screw type.Snap fixture onto clips.
