HOT PRESS USERS MANUAL

REPARING YOUR MOUNTING SUBSTRATE

Once you have decided on the most appropriate adhesive/substrate

combination for your application, it is important that you properly

prepare your substrate before coating. Although often overlooked, this

can be the most important step when mounting a print or artwork for

display.

FOAM BOARDS

(E.G. FOME-COR®, ETC.)

The surface of these types of substrates is porous and often contains

particles that can spoil an otherwise perfect mount. Clay-coated

surfaces such as Fome-Cor®, Foam-X® and similar boards should

simply be wiped with a TacCloth™ to remove dust particles.

MAT BOARDS/MILL BOARDS

To prepare mat board or millboard for mounting, use the Anti-Static

Wisk™ brush to remove dust particles and other debris.

HARDBOARD

(E.G. MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD, MASONITE, ETC.)

To prepare hardboard substrates for mounting, wipe down the

surface with a TacCloth. Should the surface contain irregularities, use

sandpaper to remove them, then wipe the surface with a TacCloth.

Please note: Due to their highly absorbent properties, do not wipe

down the surfaces of any of these substrates (i.e. foam board, mat/

millboard or hardboard) with a moist rag.

down foam board.

Tip: It is important that you remove dust

and other debris from your prints prior to

mounting.
