How to use the Cat-Lock-Sticker?
Summary of the instructions for use of the Cat-Lock-Sticker:
Instructions for use for the Cat-Lock Sticker:
- Surface Preparation: Carefully clean the surface of the railing using a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dust, grease or dirt.
- Application of Cat-Prime (optional): To maximize adhesion on complex surfaces (plastics, special paints, metals, etc.), apply a thin, uniform coat of Cat-Prime. Let dry for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Positioning: Peel off the adhesive protection on the Cat-Lock Sticker. Place it in the desired location, precisely aligning its position.
- Fixing: Apply firm, even pressure for a few seconds to ensure good contact between the adhesive and the surface.
- Rest: Let the adhesive rest for at least 24 hours before subjecting the installation to significant tension to ensure optimal fixation.
Precautions :
- Do not apply to a damp or dusty surface.
- Avoid any handling before the recommended rest time.
- Store the sticker in a dry place before use.
Is the Cat-Lock-Sticker strong enough to withstand tension?
Yes, the Cat-Lock-Sticker, based on 3M™ VHB™ adhesive tape, is designed to provide very high strength and is strong enough to maintain string tension, even in demanding applications . Here's why:
- Exceptional Adhesion: 3M™ VHB™ is renowned for its ability to bond firmly to a variety of substrates, including metals, plastics and powder paints. This guarantees lasting fixation, even under tension.
- Ability to manage forces: Thanks to its highly conformable acrylic foam core, it absorbs vibrations and evenly distributes forces, which is ideal for continuous tensions such as those of strings.
- Durability: This type of tape resists weather, humidity and UV rays well, which is essential for outdoor installations such as balconies.
- Tested for similar applications: 3M™ VHB™ is used in demanding areas such as the automotive industry and construction, where it withstands heavy loads and extreme conditions.
However, for optimal performance, it is essential to follow the installation recommendations, particularly in terms of surface preparation (cleaning and possible application of primer) and respecting the rest time before exerting significant tensions.
Can the adhesive be used for other needs?
Yes, the Cat-Lock-Sticker, based on 3M™ VHB™ tape, can be used for many other purposes thanks to its adhesion and strength properties. Here are some examples of alternative applications:
- Industrial fasteners: Ideal for assembling metal or plastic parts, such as in the automotive or electronics industry.
- Decorative mountings: Perfect for attaching decorative elements, frames or signs to smooth surfaces without having to drill.
- Nautical use: Resistant to humidity and UV, it can be used for marine applications, such as holding elements on or in boats.
- Domestic repairs: Useful for fixing or reinforcing everyday objects, such as kitchen equipment, hooks or panels.
- Construction work: Can be used to fix materials such as glass, composite panels or metal plates.
Thanks to its resistance to extreme weather conditions, its flexibility and its multi-material adhesion, this tape is a versatile solution suitable for various applications.
How to remove the adhesive when moving?
To remove the Cat-Lock-Sticker adhesive (3M™ VHB™ tape) when moving while minimizing the risk of damaging the surface, here are the steps to follow:
Steps to remove adhesive:
- Remove gently:
Carefully lift one corner of the tape using a plastic spatula or non-abrasive object. Slowly pull at an angle close to 90° to loosen the tape without leaving any residue. - Clean remaining residue:
Apply the 3M citrus-based reference product (for example, the 3M™ Citrus-Based Cleaner) to dissolve adhesive residues. Place a small amount on a clean cloth and gently rub the surface. - Wash the surface:
Clean with soapy water or a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water to remove all traces of product and restore cleanliness to the surface.
Important points:
- Always test the cleaning product on a small area to ensure it does not damage the surface.
- Do not scrape with metal objects to avoid scratching the surface.
The citrus-based product is particularly effective at dissolving adhesives while being respectful of most materials.
