risers and stringers. Quik-Stik Adhesive Tape is also resistant to aging, free of solvents,
formaldehyde and chlorine additives, economical and has no lingering odor associated with
traditional adhesives! Quik-Stik is available in 9 ½” x 164’ for adhering rubber stair treads, and 1
½” x 164’ rolls for adhering fixing nosing only. The 9 ½” width Quik-Stik is installed directly on
each products entire backing (excluding ½” nose area), and the 1 ½” width is utilized for
bonding the Stair Tread nosing. Caution: When installing Roppe Stair Treads, Stringers and
Risers, the entire backing, including the stair treads nosing must first be thoroughly cleaned with
Denatured Alcohol (always follow manufacturer’s recommendations, cautions and warnings
etc.) and a clean white cloth to remove contaminates which could interfere with Quik-Stik Tape
and ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound from properly bonding. Once cleaned with Denatured
Alcohol (always follow manufacturer’s recommendations, cautions and warnings etc.), allow
backing to dry completely before applying recommended Roppe Adhesive, Quik-Stik Adhesive
Tape or ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound, and test to ensure a successful bond can be
achieved. Once completed, Quik-Stik is then applied to the products entire backing and nosing.
Quik-Stik is not to be applied inside the nosing of the tread, which will receive ROPECC Epoxy
Nosing Compound. At least a ¼” gap on either side of the nosing must be left so a full ½” bead
of ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound can be applied. DO NOT apply ROPECC directly over
Quik-Stik Adhesive Tape. Once the Quik-Stik Adhesive Tape and ROPECC Epoxy Caulking
Compound has been applied, remove the protective paper and install stair tread. Caution: If
utilizing Quik-Stik Adhesive Tape to install stair tread leading edge vertical nose directly over
risers, follow cleaning instructions noted above. In addition to using Quik-Stik Adhesive Tape to
secure the stair treads leading edge vertical nose to the riser, once cleaned with denatured
alcohol, ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound can also be used by applying a tight serpentine
bead of adhesive covering the entire width and length of the stair treads nosing. Secure stair
tread nosing with Painters Tape until ROPECC Epoxy Caulking has dried. Remove Painters
Tape before exposing stair treads to traffic.
6.3.5 ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound
ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound (nose filler) is a Solvent-free epoxy caulking compound
designed specifically to prevent the flexing and premature cracking of Roppe Rubber Stair
Treads. ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound is applied directly inside the internal nose area of
the stair treads, prior to installation, and when uniformly and properly applied fills slight voids or
gaps between the internal nose angle of the tread and step edge, developing a strong bonding
support between the two surfaces. Caution: Do Not apply ROPECC directly over recommended
adhesives or Quik-Stik Adhesive Tape. ROPECC is for indoor installations to adhere rubber
stair treads nose area only over properly prepared & recommended porous and non-porous
substrates on grade, below grade, or above grade. Caution: Before applying the recommended
Roppe Adhesive or ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound, the stair tread, riser and stringer’s
entire backing must first be thoroughly cleaned with Denatured Alcohol (always follow
manufacturer’s recommendations, cautions and warnings etc.) and a clean white cloth to
remove contaminates which could interfere with the bonding process. Once cleaned with
Denatured Alcohol, allow backing to dry completely before applying recommended Roppe
Adhesive, Quik-Stik Adhesive Tape or ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound and test to ensure
a successful bond can be achieved. Caution: When applying ROPECC Epoxy Caulking
