This includes most flat semi-gloss and gloss paint finishes. The surface must be smooth and clean prior to application. If applying to new paint consult the paint manufacturer for proper curing conditions before GF 229 application. What if I leave the GF 229 WallMark on past its optimal removability time frame The adhesive on this product will build for a few days and then it will reach its optimal bond. It will not get more aggressive over time because of the low-tackmicrosphere adhesive technology. Can this product be used on Elevators While the adhesive on GF 229 will stick to stainless steel and other polished metal surfaces these types of doors may have a clear coat or other type of protection that can ghost when the decal is removed. Any ghosting can potentially be cleaned with a metal polish but it is best to test a small piece in an inconspicuous area for 24 hours prior to full installation to confirm fitness for use. When paneling larger jobs do I use overlaps or butt-seams with this product Either is acceptable although butt seams require a high degree of skill to line up the panels. For this product a larger than normal overlap is usually recommend. This accomplishes two things allows for a large area of adhesion and mitigates the bump caused by the two sections
overlapping. We recommend 2-3 for overlapping panels. For Standard Terms Conditions www.generalformulations.comterms-conditions 309 S. UNION S PA RTA M I 4 9 3 4 5 P616 887-7387 GF 229 APRIL 2021 T 8 0 0 2 5 3 - 3 6 6 4 W W W. G E N E R A L F O R M U L AT I O N S . C O M F616 887-0537
