COLOR-MATCH SEAM FILLER/REPAIRER INSTRUCTIONS
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Fig. 11
1. Prepare the surface of the area to be repaired by exposing the backer or substrate. Thoroughly clean the area with seam ller/repairer
solvent (acetone). It is important to use 100% acetone when working with the product.
2. Squeeze the seam ller/repairer onto you nger. Draw the repairer across the area to be lled with your nger. This action will force the
material down into the area to be lled. Repeat this action several times until the material starts to harden.
3. Remove any excess material from around the area being lled with the leading edge of laminate sample square provided. Wait
approximately 15 minutes to allow the product to completely dry.
4. Seam ller/repairer is a solvent based product and some shrinkage will occur. If the material has shrunk below the surface being repaired,
simply repeat steps 2 & 3 until the repair is satisfactory.
5. Use a clean cloth with seam ller/repairer solvent and light pressure to blend the material level with the surface.
This product has been designed to adhere to the back of HPL (high pressure laminate). The backer is either brown or black in color. It will also
adhere to particle board, medium density ber board, and plywood. It is not designed to adhere to the actual color layer or surface of laminates.
1. Wash the surface with mild dish washing liquid or powdered detergent; add warm water. Use a soft dish cloth. Rinse with warm water and dry
with cloth. Water is generally all that is needed. A quick wipe will clean most stains.
2. For harder-to-remove spots, use an all-purpose cleaner or bathroom cleanser. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with warm water
and dry with a soft cloth.
(NOTE: Do not use cleaners that contain harsh acids or abrasives.)
3. For stubborn spots, make a paste with baking soda and water. The paste will be slightly abrasive. Work carefully to keep from damaging the
surface you are cleaning. Dip a soft bristle brush into the paste to cover the bristles. Gently rub the spot with the brush, moving in a circular
motion and pressing very lightly. You may also use a Magic Eraser stain remover following the manufacturer’s instructions for stubborn stains.
