Tips for fitting the Dark magnetic tapes with solid polycarbonate sheets:
Both surfaces of the solid polycarbonate sheet are protected by a self-adhesive film. Leave these films in place to protect the sheet surface from scratches as you handle it.
There are two types of self-adhesive magnetic tape. One has a groove down the centre and the other has a foam backing. Both are easily cut with scissors or a craft knife. The adhesive sides of the magnetic tapes are covered by a removable film.
- Peel back the four edges of the sheet’s protective film by 50mm on one side only.
- Apply the grooved magnetic tape to the outer edges of the sheet, removing the film backing on the tape as you go. Butt the edges up to each other at the corners - do not overlap the tape as a uniform thickness is needed to give a good seal to your window frame. You need a continuous strip of tape around the four edges.
- Press all around this tape now it is place - it has a contact adhesive which must be very firmly pressed to activate it.
- Cut the four pieces of the magnetic tape (with the white foam adhesive backing.)Place these on top of the grooved ones on the sheet so that the tapes are held together by magnetic attraction, covering the joins of the grooved tapes.
- Degrease the surface of your window frame to ensure good adhesion. Methylated spirits or a similar degreaser can be used.
- Slowly remove the protective film from the side of the sheet with the magnetic tapes. If you do it quickly it creates static and dust will fly to it.
- Remove the blue film from the foam backed tape leaving the tape in place. Do not remove the foam backed tape from your panel to stick to your window, you will not get it to match up properly that way.
- Line up the panel against the window frame – if it is large you may want an extra pair of hands!
- Once you have placed the panel exactly where you want it, apply light pressure to stick it to the surface of the frame. You can now run your fingers around the edge applying as much pressure as possible.
- Finally slowly remove the protective covering from the room side of the sheet.
