Product Information

Full details

The Cromar Glass Fibre Bandage (75mm x 50mtr) is an essential utility for roofing contractors and DIY enthusiasts working on flat roof installations. It provides a reliable method to reinforce perimeter edges where trims meet the roof decking, tape down seams, and smooth over abrasive glass edges to ensure a uniform surface. While it offers superior structural reinforcement, users should note that precise application is required to avoid wrinkles or air pockets under the laminate.

FAQs

Can I use this bandage with all types of roofing resins?

It is specifically designed for use with standard polyester resin systems common in GRP flat roofing.

Is the 50-meter roll suitable for small repairs?

Yes, you can cut the bandage to any length required for smaller patching jobs, though it is primarily designed for perimeter detailing.

How do I prevent skin irritation when handling the bandage?

It is recommended to wear gloves and long sleeves to avoid contact with the glass fibres during installation.

Does this replace the need for expansion joints?

No, this product reinforces joints but does not replace the necessity of structural expansion joints as specified by your roof design.

What is the best way to store the remaining roll?

Keep it in its original packaging or a sealed bag in a dry, dark place to maintain fibre integrity.

Troubleshooting

Bandage lifting at the edges

Ensure the surface is properly wetted with resin before laying the bandage and use a roller to press it down firmly.

Air bubbles forming under the bandage

Use a metal consolidation roller to work the resin and fibers, pushing trapped air toward the outer edges.

Rough finish after resin cure

Lightly sand the cured area once dry and apply a small amount of extra resin or topcoat to smooth the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the decking is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application.
  2. Cutting: Use sharp shears or a utility knife to cut the bandage to the required lengths before mixing your resin.
  3. Application: Apply a thin layer of resin to the surface, press the bandage firmly into place, and then apply a second layer of resin over the top, working from the center outward to push out any air bubbles.
  4. Compatibility: Designed for use with standard polyester resin systems used in GRP roofing.
  5. Care: Store the roll in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent the fibers from becoming brittle or damp.
