PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
These guidelines are provided in good faith to help prevent installation problems caused by common errors. The manufacturer and/or
distributor of the product bears no responsibility for installation actions taken or not taken. There are many nuances of installation that
are assumed to be general construction knowledge to an experienced installer; such nuances are not included in these instructions.
Rather, these installation guidelines are strictly recommendations and are not intended to serve as a step-by-step, foolproof installation
checklist. Selection of an experienced FRP installer is the sole responsibility of the project owner and architect. Crane Composites does
not accept any responsibility for job failure resulting from or associated with improper job site environmental conditions.

Safety Information
WHEN CUTTING OR DRILLING, ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES OR GOGGLES AND A FACE MASK WHICH COVERS
THE FACE AND MOUTH. Itching due to glass fi bers may be avoided by the use of barrier creams on exposed skin areas. Hearing
protection is also recommended.
Shelf Life and Storage
GLASBORD PANELS:
Panels should be stored indoors on a solid, fl at, dry surface other than the fl oor. Do not stack on
concrete fl oor or any other surface that emits moisture. Lay panels fl at with proper support on the
ends of panels. Do not stand panels on edge. Optimum storage conditions are 60° to 75° (16°C to
24°C) and 35% to 55% relative humidity
(Figure 1) .
CCI ADVANCED POLYMER ADHESIVE (R53828) OR FAST GRAB ADHESIVE (R53829):
For best results, maintain temperature of adhesive, panels and room at a stable temperature
between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29.4°C) for a 24-hour period prior to, during and after installation.
When protected from freezing and when stored in its original, tightly sealed container, adhesive
has a shelf life of one year (1 yr.) from the date of manufacture. Refer to page 4 for assistance in
selecting the appropriate adhesive.
CCI CLEANROOM / HYGIENIC SEAM SEALANT (R53827):
Sealant should be stored in a dry environment between 65°F-85°F (18°C – 30°C). New cartridges should be left in their original
packaging until ready for use. Partial cartridges can be stored by leaving mixing tip attached to cartridge. Sealant inside the mixing tip
will cure and act as a seal after each use. A new mixing tip will need to be installed prior to next use. Refer to expiration date listed on
cartridge prior to use or re-use.
