Troubleshooting
Material will not adhere properly.
Ensure the surface is perfectly clean and dry. Reapply adhesive, ensuring full coverage on both surfaces and sufficient drying time before bonding.
Foil surface is scratched or torn.
Handle the material carefully during installation. Minor abrasions may not significantly impact performance, but tears should be patched if possible with compatible tape or adhesive.
Difficulty cutting the material cleanly.
Use a sharp, high-quality utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. Score the material first if needed before making a full cut.
Material delaminates over time.
This can be caused by insufficient adhesive application or extreme temperature fluctuations. Ensure proper adhesive use and consider additional mechanical fasteners in high-stress areas if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Measure and Cut: Measure the desired area and use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors to trim the Cool-It Thermo Guard FR to size. Ensure clean, straight cuts for best adhesion.
Prepare Surface: Clean the target surface thoroughly, ensuring it is free of dirt, grease, and moisture. For optimal results, use a degreaser.
Apply Adhesive: Spray Cool-It's heavy-duty spray adhesive (or a compatible high-temperature adhesive) evenly onto both the material and the mounting surface, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Position and Press: Carefully position the material and apply firm, even pressure across the entire surface to ensure a strong bond. Work from the center outwards to avoid trapping air.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most automotive interior and engine bay surfaces.
Ideal for use on metal, plastic, and fiberglass.
Ensure adequate clearance, as the 6mm thickness adds to existing material.
Care:
Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the foil surface.
Regularly inspect for any signs of damage or peeling, especially in high-vibration areas.
