To achieve a perfect finish on 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 a perfect finish on joints:

1. Recommended products:

• DecoFix Extra (FX210) : A flexible adhesive/joint specifically designed to fill gaps between Orac Decor products and adjacent surfaces. It is easy to use and ensures a smooth and durable finish.
• Finishing paste (optional) : To smooth joints if necessary before painting.

2. Steps for a perfect finish:

a. Prepare the surfaces

1. Make sure Orac products are securely attached and aligned to the surface (wall, ceiling, etc.).
2. Clean the edges of the elements to remove dust or glue residue.

b. Apply DecoFix Extra (FX210)

1. Application of the seal :

   • Insert the DecoFix Extra glue/joint 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, damp finger (in soapy water) or smoothing tool to smooth 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 obtain a smooth, even surface.

3. Additional finishes

1. Paint :
   • Paint Orac products and joints for a uniform finish.
   • Use a paint that is suitable for your needs (acrylic or solvent-based).
2. Final check:
   • Examine the joints carefully under light to identify any irregularities. Reapply DecoFix Extra if necessary before painting.

Practical advice:

• Work quickly: DecoFix Extra begins to dry within minutes, so it is best to smooth immediately after application.
• Avoid excess product: Applying too generously can result in smudges that are difficult to clean after drying.
• Protect surrounding surfaces: Use masking tape to avoid damaging adjacent walls or ceilings.

Why is DecoFix Extra ideal?

• It is specially designed for Orac Decor products, ensuring optimum adhesion and flexibility.
• It fills joints in a durable manner, even in the event of slight movements of the materials.

With these steps, your Orac Decor products will have a professional finish and invisible joints, integrating perfectly into your space.
