FirmaFlex is great for
cornices, arches, and wall-hung headboards. It is not recommended
for use as a mounting board alone, unless it is supported with
a face board.

Prior to using FirmaFlex
or any building material, it is a good idea to check the squareness
of the sheet. Square with a T-square if needed.

NOTE: TABLE SAW NOT RECOMMENDED.
A rotary cutter is recommended
for making straight cuts in FirmaFlex. You will need a large 65mm
blade to cut all the way through the material. Use a straight
edge and a cutting mat, and simply push the rotary cutter through
FirmaFlex.

To make intricate cuts
with FirmaFlex, draw off your design, then cut with a jigsaw.
Use blades designed for wood, not metal, that are for fine finish
cutting (small teeth)

FirmaFlex are thick, tacky glues or hot glue. Wood glue, thin
glues, or solvent-based glues are not recommended.

FirmaFlex performs beautifully
when screwed or nailed together. Can be pre-drilled if desired.
Pneumatic tools work well. When building a long piece, reinforce
as needed.

FirmaFlex will accept
iron-on self-bonding fabrics. Spray adhesives may be used. Cover
with batting or foam and staple into place, using staple length
appropriate to the project. Face fabric can be easily stapled
into FirmaFlex.

FirmaFlex is incredibly
easy to splice, and can be arched and shaped well even after splicing.
Butt two edges together, apply a bead of hot glue between them,
place a row of staples along the seam, flip the piece over and
place another row of staples on the seam.

FirmaFlex is self-hinging!
No more hardware needed when building bay window boards. Using
a rotary cutter, cut part way through the material where a hinge
is desired, and fold FirmaFlex into itself. It’s never been
so easy to fold and transport a large piece.

Wear safety goggles
when using saws with FirmaFlex.
When using rotary cutter,
always push the blade AWAY from you, and keep hands out of the
path of the blade.
Cut only one piece of
FirmaFlex at a time. Do not stack to cut. Saws may build up excessive
heat.
