To achieve a perfect finish on the joints between Orac Decor products (such as cornices, skirting boards, or wall panels), it is essential to use the right techniques and products. Here are the steps and tips for impeccable joint finishing:

1. Recommended Products:

• DecoFix Extra (FX210): A flexible adhesive/filler specifically designed to fill gaps between Orac Decor products and adjacent surfaces. Easy to use, it ensures a smooth and durable finish.
• Finishing compound (optional): To smooth joints if necessary before painting.

2. Steps for a Perfect Finish:

a. Prepare the Surfaces

1. Ensure that the Orac products are securely fixed and aligned on the surface (wall, ceiling, etc.).
2. Clean the edges of the elements to remove dust or glue residues.

b. Apply DecoFix Extra (FX210)

1. Applying the filler:

   • Insert the DecoFix Extra adhesive/filler into an applicator gun.
   • Apply the product directly to the joint between the Orac elements or between the element and the wall/ceiling.

2. Complete filling:

   • Carefully fill all gaps. Do not leave any empty spaces.

c. Smooth the Joint

1. Immediately after application, use a spatula, a wet finger (in soapy water), or a smoothing tool to flatten the joint.
2. Wipe off any excess product with a damp cloth before it dries.

d. Sand if Necessary

1. Once the DecoFix Extra is completely dry (approximately 24 hours), lightly sand the area with fine sandpaper (220 grit or higher) to achieve a smooth and uniform surface.

3. Additional Finishes

1. Painting:
   • Paint the Orac products as well as the joints for a uniform finish.
   • Use paint suitable for your needs (acrylic or solvent-based).
2. Final Inspection:
   • Examine the joints carefully in the light to detect any irregularities. Reapply DecoFix Extra if necessary before painting.

Practical Tips:

• Work Quickly: DecoFix Extra starts drying in a few minutes, so it's best to smooth immediately after application.
• Avoid Excess Product: Overapplication can lead to difficult-to-clean smudges after drying.
• Protect Surrounding Surfaces: Use masking tape to prevent damage to adjacent walls or ceilings.

Why is DecoFix Extra Ideal?

• It is specially designed for Orac Decor products, ensuring optimal adhesion and flexibility.
• It fills joints durably, even with slight material movements.

By following these steps, your Orac Decor products will have a professional finish with invisible joints, seamlessly blending into your space.
