STEP BY STEP DIRECTIONS :  

  1. Make sure all flame sources are extinguished. 
  2. Prep area by removing all water, oil, dust, dirt or debris. 
  3. Shake the can for 60 seconds. 
  4. Invert can and install onto the dispensing gun with a twist.  
  5. Adjust the flow control knob on the back of the gun to achieve the desired flow. 
  6. Press the trigger to fill the gun with adhesive and then dispense into an appropriate waste receptacle.  
  7. Adjust bead size to ½ inch. 
  8. Test the bead size. 
  9. If using the 14 XL Dispensing Gun, install the forked guide. 
  10. Apply a continuous bead along the full length of each stud or joist.  
  11. Close the flow control knob to keep any foam in the dispensing gun from curing. 
  12. Adhere substrates within 10 minutes of dispensing adhesive and install mechanical fasteners. 
  13. Finish your project by fully cleaning the Great Stuff Pro™ Dispensing Gun.

 

Helpful Tips:

  1. Periodically clean foam dispensing gun by rubbing the nozzle with a cloth soaked in Great Stuff™ Foam Cleaner 
  2. Never leave a foam dispensing gun without a can of adhesive attached unless it has been thoroughly cleaned with Great Stuff™ Foam Cleaner. 
  3. Flush the dispensing gun with Great Stuff™ Foam Cleaner before attaching another product. 
  4. Ensure all construction surfaces are clean and free of oils, dust and debris.
  5. Uniformly dispense a 1/2-inch bead of adhesive the full length of each stud or joist. Wherever sheet materials butt together along studs or joists, dispense two 1/2-inch beads side by side or one 1/2-inch bead in a zig-zag pattern the full length of the studs or joists.
  6. Tighten the flow control screw until fully closed for storage. Use can within 30 days of initial use.
  7. Store upright with a foam dispensing gun attached.
  8. Always leave a can of foam attached to the gun with the flow control screw closed.
  9. When ready to change cans, shake the new can of foam for a minimum of 60 seconds.
