Bonding a thermostat to a wall
Bonding a thermostat to a wall
As part of renovating a heating installation, a new thermostat is mounted. Instead of drilling new holes, we bond the room thermostat with X-Tack.
Step 1: Preparation
Degrease the back of the thermostat with TEC7 Cleaner. Let it work in for a bit, the remove with a cleaning cloth.
De-dust the substrate.
Step 2: Mounting
Apply X-Tack to the thermostat. Hold the spout perpendicular to the substrate, so that a triangular adhesive bead is formed. This guarantees a perfect distribution of the adhesive.
Press the thermostat firmly against the substrate. The thermostat can now be precisely positioned, but will not sag.
Step 3: Finishing
Remove excess X-Tack with the Powerwipes tissues and/or TEC7 Cleaner.
