Full details
Decofix Pro is an essential interior adhesive for DIY enthusiasts and professionals tasked with installing coving and panel mouldings onto walls and ceilings.

FAQs
Can I use Decofix Pro for outdoor projects?
No, this adhesive is specifically designed for interior use only.
How many metres of coving will one cartridge cover?
A single 310ml cartridge of FDP500 provides coverage for approximately 8 metres of moulding.
Is this the best adhesive for new plaster?
No, for new builds or recently plastered walls, we recommend using FDP700 Hydro.
Does this adhesive work on ceiling tiles?
Decofix Pro is specifically formulated for coving and panel mouldings from Orac Decor.
Can I sand the adhesive after it cures?
Yes, once fully cured, excess adhesive can be trimmed or sanded to achieve a clean finish before painting.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not bonding to the surface
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. If the wall is new or freshly plastered, the adhesive will struggle to cure; use FDP700 Hydro instead.
Cartridge is difficult to squeeze
Check that the nozzle is cut correctly and ensure the internal seal has been properly punctured. If cold, warm the cartridge slightly to room temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your installation, ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Load the FDP500 cartridge into a standard caulking gun. Cut the nozzle to your desired bead size and apply the adhesive to the back of the moulding. Press the item firmly into position. If you are working on a new build or a wall that has been recently plastered, consider using the FDP700 Hydro variant instead to account for higher moisture content. Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place and ensure the nozzle is sealed tightly to prevent the product from curing inside the tube.
