stage and film sets.
Features
& Benefits
• Fast fabrication
• Fast finishing
• Heavy duty applications
Directions
1. Fabricate a framework with sufficient shaped
and supporting ribs to support the Neaflex skin.
For example Ð curved ribs would typically be
set at 350 mm to 450 mm centres. |
|
2. Straight ribs used to support the curved ribs
should be set-back from the face of the curved
ribs to ensure they do not interfere with the
Neatflex.
3. Cut
the Neatflex to rough shape and offer up to the
framework to ensure a good fit. Position the Neatflex
grooved face inwards.
|
|
4. Apply a good coat of wood glue to mating surfaces
on the framework and Neatflex, and finally position.
|
|
5. Staple into position with sufficient staples to
retain the shape until the adhesive holds.
6. Trim to shape and finish in the normal way. |
