Fillets glued tape, self-adhesive with trimming

Curbing tape - not the easiest way to block the joint between the wall and the shower tray / bath. Although much of the necessary work is done 15-20 minutes, Sticky and Cutting, nevertheless, require a bit of experience and accuracy.

On the bottom surface of an adhesive tape and closed at the top paper, which during installation are gradually removed.

harness measure

Since the turn angle of the walls of a little more than 90 degrees, between the pan and the wall on either side to receive the gaps up to 1.5 cm. To be safe, I one day earlier filled joints white sanitary siliconeSoudal (300 ml) - even if the tape in a time lag behind a bit, it will not allow water to seep under the pallet.

The only pity is that it is impossible to buy a tape length is shorter than 3 meters, while just 1.6 m. But what will be replaced on occasion.

I prepare tape

because of greater than the width of the gap I had to use tape with a width of 3 cm field. Overall its width 6 cm and in the middle it is bent in half. In my case, at least a version of the strips do not like, because it is not enough to overlap the gap, and probably constantly come unstuck, especially as flexible acrylic tray.

Such a tape wider than I have not met, and if the sellers do not deceive, then more 6 cm (3 + 3 cm) it is no longer available, so do not look for it.

Cut to length and angle

With long everything is clear, you just have to measure the distance from the corner to the edge of the pan and cut a piece with a small margin of 1 cm, which is cut off later.

Since the tray in front of me with a side of 80 cm, cut off 2 pieces of 81 cm.

Next cut corners to the middle of the tape 45 degrees as shown in the picture. For convenience, make a pencil mark. With this task well handle scissors, and so their use.

After cutting, I try to combine the edge in the corner and, if necessary, trimmed them before a complete coincidence.

Release paper and stick

Since the tape Sticky strong, fast enough any debris and clings to all, Rented for convenience only paper 10 cm from edge, Pasting angle, and then gradually pulling the paper strip is pressed down along the entire length of the pallet to the surfaces and walls. Then I make a few passes to align and pridavlivaniya.

As it happens live well it is seen from the video, at the end of the article.

When the tape is about a piece already in place, at their junction, you can go with silicone, if any. Do not interfere, do it in places where Tape the seam crosses mezhplitochny and rests not so tight.

So in the end trimming knife protruding over the pan edges of the tape. Glue fails, everything is OK!
