Installation Methods

Make sure you remove any debris & dust and make sure the surface is completely dry.

IMPORTANT: Please use the Surface Primer supplied. It is advisable to keep the pads warm as this will assist in achieving an instant bond. The warmer they are the better the adhesion will be.

  1. Place the Tactile pads into position leaving a 1-2mm gap for expansion.
  2. Apply masking tape as close as possible to around the edges of the pads
  3. Remove pads and apply the Surface Primer onto the surface and up to the edge of the masking tape allowing the primer to soak in.
  4. Leave primer to dry between 15 – 30 minutes pending on conditions.
  5. Remove backing paper from the tactile pad and place into position leaving a 1-2mm gap. Tap down firmly with rubber hammer.
  6. Once the area is completed remove the masking tape
