Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone using Orac Decor FDP500 DecoFix Pro, a strong contact adhesive designed for interior use with Orac Decor mouldings. The key benefit is its ability to create a lasting bond that's paintable after just 24 hours. However, it's important to note that this water-based acrylic glue is not suitable for all environments, so consider the hydro FDP700 for damp areas.

FAQs

What surfaces can I use this on?

Orac Decor FDP500 is intended for interior use with Orac Decor mouldings on surfaces that are clean, dry, and dust-free.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

While FDP500 is suitable for many interior applications, it's not ideal for consistently damp environments like bathrooms. For those areas, Orac Decor recommends using FDP700, which is designed for higher moisture exposure.

How long does it take for the adhesive to dry?

The adhesive will harden in approximately 24 hours. Full strength is achieved after complete curing.

How do I clean up excess adhesive?

Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe away excess adhesive immediately after application. If the adhesive has dried, you can try gently scraping it off or sanding it once it's fully cured.

What is the coverage per cartridge?

Coverage is up to 8m per cartridge, depending on the application method and surface.

Do I need any special tools to apply this adhesive?

Yes, it is recommended to use a cartridge gun for easy and effective application.

Can I paint over the adhesive?

Yes, once the adhesive has fully dried, it is paintable, allowing you to seamlessly integrate the mouldings into your decor.

Is the FDP500 suitable for all Orac Decor mouldings?

Yes, FDP500 is designed for use with Orac Decor mouldings. However, for joints, the FX400 is recommended, excluding the Basixx CB range.

Troubleshooting

Moulding is not sticking properly.

Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry. Apply a sufficient amount of adhesive and hold the moulding firmly in place until it bonds. Consider the hydro FDP700 for damp areas.

Adhesive is difficult to dispense.

Make sure you are using a proper cartridge gun. Check the nozzle for any blockage.

Excess adhesive is visible after drying.

Remove excess adhesive immediately after application with a damp sponge or cloth. For dried adhesive, you can try gently scraping it off or sanding it after it has fully cured.
