Surface Preparation
It should be reasonably clean and dry if the Watco Adhesive Mastic is to be the only means of fixing. Badly dished or holed concrete etc. should ideally be filled. Watco Adhesive Mastic will take up minor undulations and imperfections.
If application is to damp, dirty or friable surfaces or in very cold weather, use Watco Adhesive Mastic to bed the GRP item into place and then always screw fix. Screw fixings are generally made at about 600mm intervals. Drilling through the GRP is easy using a standard twist drill suitable for wood or metal. Countersinking is not required.
If you need to cut the GRP product, a good quality abrasive disc, jigsaw or hacksaw can be used. The GRP material is quite tough to cut by hand, so if power tools are not readily available, please ask about our cut to size service.


Fixings
If mechanical fixing is required, the following may be used as a guide:


Application
Lay the items in place to ensure that they fit. Trim using a jigsaw with medium cutting blades (Bosch TI01 AIF or similar are ideal).
Hold the GRP in place and drill two holes at each end of the Step Cover, one approximately 15mm in from the back edge and 15mm in from the side. The second hole should be approximately 15mm in from the side and on the line where the black tread meets the yellow or white nosing. It is unlikely that the Step Covers will require additional fixings in the middle of the tread, (unless the tread is over 2000mm long). A rawl plug will probably be required in a concrete base. The drill hole in the GRP does not need to be larger than that drilled into the substrate.
