FAQs
Can I use this moulding outdoors?
No, the P8020F is designed specifically for interior use and is not rated for weather or UV exposure.
Is the material paintable?
Yes, the moulding arrives with a factory-applied undercoat and is ready for a final coat of high-quality paint.
What tools do I need for cutting?
A standard saw with a fine-toothed blade is sufficient for cutting Purotouch material.
Can I use standard wood glue for the joints?
No, you must use `FX210` jointing adhesive to ensure the joints chemically fuse and remain stable over time.
Does the moulding come in different lengths?
The P8020F is typically supplied in 2-meter lengths.
What is the minimum bending radius?
The minimum bending radius for the P8020F is 40 cm.
Troubleshooting
Moulding pulling away from the wall
Ensure that the substrate is primed and use mechanical fixings or masking tape to hold the moulding in place while the adhesive cures.
Visible seams between lengths
Apply an adequate amount of `FX210` jointing adhesive at the seams, then sand lightly once fully cured to achieve a seamless finish.
Moulding will not bend to the required curve
Check the radius requirement; if your architectural feature has a radius smaller than 40 cm, the P8020F is not compatible and may break if forced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust before starting installation.
Adhesive Selection: Use `FDP500` for standard interior applications. For bathrooms or environments prone to moisture, select `FDP700` for superior moisture-resistant bonding.
Jointing: Apply `FX210` jointing adhesive specifically to all butt ends and mitres to prevent hairline cracks over time.
Cutting: Use a fine-toothed saw to cut the profile to your required lengths.
Finishing: Once the adhesive has cured, you can apply your final coat of paint (acrylic or water-based) directly over the factory primer.
Maintenance: Clean finished mouldings with a soft cloth and mild soap solution if necessary; avoid abrasive scrubbers.
