iFlex Wood Products are designed to be extremely user-friendly, provided
that a few simple steps are followed.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BEND iFLEX
WOOD PRODUCTS WITHOUT HEATING FIRST!
DO NOT SUBMERGE IN WATER.
1) HEAT the piece with a heat gun/blow dryer or place on griddle (no higher than 275 degrees) until it becomes flexible.
This allows the decorative piece to adhere to the project surface by increasing
contact points of the glue in Step 2.
2) Spread a thin, even layer of adhesive, such as wood glue, to the entire back surface. It is important to be thorough so that small, detailed parts of the molding will be properly adhered to the project piece.
3) Gently press the iFlex Wood Products molding against the project piece.
Continue applying mild pressure until the adhesive begins to set and the iFlex
Wood Products molding remains in place on its own. Press all parts of the
iFlex Wood Products molding against the piece to ensure a complete bond.
If needed, reapply heat intermittently to retain flexibility.
That’s it! Once the glue has properly dried, the piece is ready for paint, stain
or other decorative finish enhancements. If desired, paint or stain may be
applied before iFlex Wood Products moldings are applied to a piece, but
caution must be used to avoid issues like bubbling and cracking in
the coating while the iFlex Wood Products molding is being heated and formed to the piece.
CAUTION: iFlex Wood Products are fragile and may break if not handled
with care. If a break occurs, heat with heat gun or blow dryer then apply a
small amount of wood glue to the broken surfaces and press back together.
Once glue has dried, gently sand if needed to smooth surface with 320 grit
sandpaper, and the piece can then be used normally following the instructions above.
