General Assembly Instructions
When beginning the assembly process, mix the Earthcore
Adhesive with clean water to a smooth, workable texture
(without lumps or dry pockets) of a “toothpaste” consistency. This
mixture is suitable for application onto Isokern components by
using a masonry grout bag supplied with the unit.
Attention should be paid that the Earthcore Adhesive mixture is not too
thin or runny, as this will not allow the Earthcore Adhesive to reach its
maximum bonding strength.
Mark out the position of the base plate on the supporting floor system. Apply a
thin layer of Earthcore Adhesive to the area and set base plate in the adhesive
(Figure 6)
.
Earthcore Adhesive is then squeezed from a grout bag onto the contact surfaces
of the Isokern components as they are fitted together.
NOTE
: It is important that a ½” bead of Earthcore Adhesive is piped onto all the
components’ contact surfaces, about ½” in from all edges
(Figure 7).
When setting the next component onto the Earthcore Adhesive contact surface
of the base plate, some Earthcore Adhesive should squeeze out along the face
of the entire joint as a sign of complete and proper sealing of the joint.
On broader contact surfaces, it is advisable to apply several additional ½” beads
of the Earthcore Adhesive to the area to assure proper sealing of the joint.
Proper firebox and smoke dome assembly requires approximately 100 pounds
(dry measure) of Earthcore Adhesive.
LEVELING AND ALIGNING COMPONENTS
:
Be sure to assemble all Isokern components level and flush with adjoining
components.
Earthcore Adhesive is not intended to create a joint of any thickness for leveling
purposes. Leveling and alignment adjustments are accomplished with the use of
small plastic shims supplied with the unit
(Figure 8)
.
The shims may be inserted under a component to level and align it with
adjacent Isokern components. Be sure to re-grout all gaps resulting from shim
insertion to maintain components to full bearing.
BROKEN COMPONENTS
:
Components can be repaired by using Earthcore Adhesive along the break line
as the component is set into place.
Components broken into multiple small pieces should be discarded and
replaced.
IMPORTANT
:
1)
Do not mix Earthcore Adhesive with anti-freeze agents.
2)
The maximum recommended Earthcore Adhesive joint thickness
between Isokern components is ¼”.
