On the application of heat above +120C the profile will change, from a V to a U section to grip the substrate profile. The following procedure is recommended for installation: 1. Prior to installation, panel edges should be thoroughly degreased with a suitable solvent. 2. An installation temperature of +150C to +200C is preferable. 3. The end of the strip should be heated until the adhesive is tacky and then applied to the plate with a gloved hand. With the end thus anchored, the spine of the Rayrim can be heated and fed onto the edge of the panel at a rate of approximately 20 cm/minute, keeping the strip reasonably taut and performing the operation continuously. The strip can then be cut to length, once the spine has been firmly settled and aligned on the panel edge. 4. The edges can then be heated and pressed into place using a gloved hand or suitable flat surface, applying gentle pressure to ensure proper adhesion. Any excess adhesive may be removed with a suitable solvent (eg Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone) 5. Note that the hot-melt adhesive will be re-activated by temperatures in excess of +80C thus allowing for repair after localised damage to the strip.
