Tools Required
Cutting: Fine tooth saw, jig saw with plastics compatible blade, circular saw with fine toothed blade, trimming knife.
Drilling: Any metal drill bit.
Fixing: Pre-drill holes 5- 6mm oversized to allow for expansion & contraction. Use Laserlite screws and sealing washers.
Cleaning: Any household cleaner.
Gluing: Not recommended.
Sealing: Neutral cure silicone.
Bending: Can be cold bent into shape.
Handling and Storage
When storing Handiboard sheets prior to use, make sure the sheets are stored on a flat surface away from direct sunlight and moisture. |
