CHOICE OF ADHESIVE
Dry fit the sheet and direct scribe, using a divider tool, along the
ceiling and floor. Score and undercut the sheet along the scribe
marks. Prior to installation, back roll sheets once in reverse direction
to release roll stretch. Draw a perpendicular pencil line on the wall
for your starting edge. Draw another perpendicular pencil line for
the opposite side of the tac·wall panel. For best results, use L910
adhesive. Typically, the working time of the L910 is 15 minutes
(temperature and humidity may affect working time). Apply adhesive
to the wall (between the perpendicular pencil lines) with a putty
knife and spread with a 1/16" square notched trowel. Only apply
enough adhesive to adhere to one panel at a time. If necessary,
apply 10" to 12" of contact adhesive or acrylic dispersion to the
upper part of the wall and to the back of the tac·wall to prevent
the sheet from sliding down along the fresh adhesive.
PRESSING INTO ADHESIVE
Press the sheet of tac·wall into the fresh adhesive, starting with the
top edge and the side along the first perpendicular pencil line. Work
from the top downwards, widthwise first. Firmly roll through the width
then the length with a heavy pressure roller to ensure proper transfer
of adhesive and to remove all air bubbles. Remove adhesive residue
immediately with a damp cloth. Mineral spirits may be used to
remove dried adhesive from the surface of the tac·wall. The first
sheet should now be fully cut in, adhered, and rolled.
NOTE: On non-porous walls it is best to let the adhesive flash off at
least 50% (make sure adhesive remains wet enough to transfer to
the burlap backing) before applying the tac·wall material. This will
give better initial tack and allow the adhesive to cure properly.
SEAMING WITH SUBSEQUENT SHEETS
Install all tac·wall in the same direction. Using the edge of the first
piece installed, measure and make a pencil line for the opposite edge
of the next panel to be installed. Dry fit the next sheet and direct
scribe, using a divider tool, along the ceiling and floor. Score and
undercut the sheet along the scribe marks. Spread the L910 adhesive
with proper-notched trowel. Spread from the edge of the first sheet to
the pencil line at the seam edge of the second sheet. Press firmly into
place with a heavy pressure roller. Roll seam with hand roller. Remove
adhesive residue immediately with warm water and a mild detergent.
Dried adhesive can be removed with mineral spirits. Repeat the same
procedures for each sheet, completing one sheet at a time until the
job is completed.
NOTE: When installing tac·wall to cover an entire wall, it is best to
finish off walls with crown molding and base. In your take offs, order
enough material so that you won’t have any cross or butt seams.
NOTE: Another acceptable method for fitting the tac·wall in an
entire wall installation is to pattern scribe the material. This would be
recommended when the material has to be fit to the exact size without
the use of molding or base.
FINISHING OFF JOINTS
Possibilities:
• Install tac·wall sheets with trace cut edges butted against each
other, use seam and strip cutter.
• Install tac·wall sheets with trimmed factory edges butted against
each other, and gouge out grooves between the sheets with the
grooving gouge.
• Remove the factory edges from both tac·wall sheets and affix the
sheets to the desired distance from each other, after having painted
the visible part of the wall in a matching color.
• Finish the edges with T-profiles, obtainable from retail shops.
• Trim factory edges. Then, using a routing machine, bevel or shape
the edge for the desired look. Then, install the tac·wall butted
against each other.
FINISH
Finish off wall with strips and skirting.
INSIDE CORNERS
For best results, pattern scribing the material will ensure a tight fit
between the tac·wall sheets.
OUTSIDE CORNERS
For the best finish look, an outside corner guard profile should
be used. This will ensure adequate protection and durability to
the installation.
Tac·wall is supplied with a smooth finish and is very easy to clean.
Tac·wall is ready for immediate use. Adhesive residue should
always be removed as quickly as possible with a clean damp cloth.
Dried adhesive residue should be cleaned with a clean cloth and
mineral spirits.
Regular dusting or, if necessary, wiping with a damp cloth guarantees
a long useful tac • wall life.
NOTE: Tac·wall does not normally need a special maintenance product.
Clean tac·wall with a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water using a
neutral pH (7-8.5) cleansing agent, such as Marmoleum Floor Cleaner.
Remove water with a squeegee and a cloth. Rinse with clean water to
prevent the formation of white residue. Use a squeegee once more to
remove water.
Tac·wall is made from natural raw materials. While it is maturing in
the drying stoves, a yellow coat, termed “drying room film” may
appear on the surface. This occurs during the manufacturing process.
This film, caused by oxidation of linseed oil, occurs intermittently and
with varying intensity. It is most noticeable on the blue and gray
shades. However, the discoloration is only TEMPORARY.
