Troubleshooting
Moulding not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Use the correct type and amount of adhesive recommended for the material and application (interior/exterior). Allow adequate curing time.
Paint finish is uneven
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Ensure the base coat is dry before applying the final paint. Use a high-quality brush for a smoother finish.
Difficulty achieving clean cuts
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw specifically designed for cutting polymers or rigid foam. A mitre box or saw guide will ensure accurate angles.
Moulding appears to sag or bow over time
Ensure sufficient adhesive was used during installation. For long runs, consider using additional fixings or support if the adhesive alone is not sufficient, especially in variable temperature environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris.
Cut the moulding to the desired length using a fine-toothed saw and a mitre box for precise angles. A specific saw for polyurethane may yield the best results.

Press the moulding firmly into place. For exterior applications, use the appropriate exterior-grade adhesive.
Allow the adhesive to cure completely before painting.

The moulding comes with a white base coat. Apply one coat of acrylic or water-based paint using a brush for a smooth finish.
Compatibility:
Suitable for application on most interior walls and ceilings. For exterior use, ensure the correct exterior-grade adhesive and paint are used.
Can be installed on surfaces with slight curves due to its minimum bending radius of 30 cm.
Care:
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint finish or material.
