Follow these instructions to edge cut your ProPanels. The fabric
is only laminated to the edges and the back of the ProPanel. No
adhesive was, or should be, used on the face of the ProPanel.
Therefore, when you pull the fabric from the back and edge, it
will fall away from the face of the ProPanel.
Lay the ProPanel down with the fabric face up. Start from the
back of the ProPanel and pull the fabric away from the back and
edges of the ProPanel. Pull the fabric back at least two inches
beyond the cut line. Mark the core at the desired cut line. Be sure
to deduct for the fabric thickness.
Roll the fabric so the back of the fabric is at the edge of the cut line
(see drawing below). Lightly spray Auralex
® Foamtak ™ adhesive
on the exposed edges. Do not get adhesive on the face of the
ProPanel. Let the adhesive set for at least 15 seconds. Permanent
discoloring of the fabric will occur if too much adhesive is used or
not enough drying time is given.
Starting at the middle of the cut edge, gently pull the fabric taut
(without distorting the fabric) and press it against the edge of the
ProPanel. Work toward one end. When complete, go back to the
middle and, using the same techniques, work to the other end of
the cut edge.
After the fabric is pressed to all edges, and after confirming that the
table is clean, turn the ProPanel face down. Apply Auralex Foamtak
adhesive on the back of the ProPanel 2” in from the edge and to
the back of the fabric. Press the fabric down to the back of the
panel along the edges and press the fabric together at the corners.
At the corners, trim the back and edges with sharp scissors.
Leave enough fabric to close each corner. Install the ProPanel.
Clamp a straight edge at the cut line. Cut through the
core, following the straight edge.
Cut the fabric, leaving two inches more fabric than
the core and edge thickness.
