corri cor

Post by lynnbmack »

Hi

I use Corri cor mk 3 for backing, but am having trouble sometimes with the brown gummed tape lifting when dry - this doesn't always happen - any tips for foolproof sticking - this is a fairly new problem as I had been using Artbak with the stock when I took over the business and Artbak didn't do this! Maybe it's the way I stick it!?

Any ideas?

thanks

Lynn

Hi Lynn
We had the same problem as you are experiencing.

I know it is frowned upon in a lot of quarters, but we use the ECO 25 self adhesive tape from LION.

Have done for quite a number of years with no problem at all of the adhesive going brittle or losing its 'stickyness'

Hi Lynn,

This appears to be a problem with all similar backing boards which have waterproof membrane. The non-waterproof boards don't have the same problem.
