Health and Safety
We strongly recommend that PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is used throughout your Xtend garden
building build to ensure you are protected from any potential health and safety risks.
Do not exempt
yourself from wearing PPE even if the job ‘only takes a few minutes.’
Use any guidance stated on your
fixings supplied and where you feel it is applicable to use PPE as part of your step by step assembly.
Chemical
Information
Due to the high quantity of products, we have supplied and recommended to use,
we strongly
recommend checking all of the chemical information, application, shelf-life, storage, cautions and
health and safety sections which will be listed on the back of each product.
For further information,
these specific branded products can be found online and they will have PDF technical sheets ready at
hand to access. If you have any further concerns or queries, you can contact the suppliers/manufacturer’s
for extra information.
Do not leave empty containers where residue could be harmful to children, animals or the
environment.
Replace lids and remove any containers to a central disposal point in accordance with local
regulations. Do not pierce can. In the event of spillage remove all sources of ignition, ventilate the area,
remove people from confined areas. Material should be mopped up immediately with an inert absorbent
material such as sand.
B3 Fill & Fix Expanding Foam
Extra Information
B3 Fill & Fix Expanding Foam is just like many other types of expanding foam. It is vital that you know how
to set up and use the expanding foam correctly for an easy application during your assembly. As this is a
generic fixing pack and we do not supply any tools, the expanding foam does require a
foam gun.
Preparation & Application
Before applying your expanding foam, you need to ensure that the surfaces to
be bonded must be firm, clean, dry and free from dust, grease or contaminants
to prevent any hinderance for the adhesive to work effectively. All of the
construction components that will be in contact with the expanding foam must
be properly prepared prior to foam application. It is advisable to have a ‘Foam
Clear’ at hand.
Ensure your foam gun is set up correctly and shake your expanding foam can
vigorously prior to use. Use the gun with the can uppermost and as close to
vertical as possible. Otherwise as a result, you will have poor foam discharge
during your application. Also, take care on not to overfill joints when applying
to your base kit panels. Fresh foam spills can be removed straightaway or if left
to harden, they can be removed mechanically with a scraper or knife.
Cleaning The Nozzle
As the expanding foam will be in use over the 2 days of the Xtend garden building assembly, it is best to
keep the nozzle on your foam gun clean enough to prevent any blocking of the product when next coming
to use it. Excess foam can be removed whilst still wet using ‘Bond It Foam Cleaner’ or ‘Bond It Multi-
wipes.’ Once the expanding foam has cured, it can only be removed mechanically. Store and transport
upright in cool, dry conditions between 5 and 25°C.
