Troubleshooting
Strip is not adhering properly
Ensure the surface of the shower tray edge is completely clean, dry, and free from grease or residue before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality, waterproof adhesive recommended for bathroom applications and allow adequate curing time.
Cutting the strip resulted in a rough edge
Use a fine-tooth metal cutting blade and proceed slowly for a clean cut. Lightly sand the cut edge with fine-grit sandpaper if necessary, ensuring not to damage the finish.
Water pooling behind the strip
Ensure a continuous and complete seal of waterproof adhesive is applied along the entire length of the strip. Check that the shower tray's drainage system is functioning correctly and that the strip is installed at the correct angle to direct water towards the drain.
