EZ-Stick Pro
™
Clean attachment points on the wall surface with Isopropyl alcohol (avoid household cleaners), wipe gently and
let dry. Separate the EZ-Stick Pro Tabs from each other. Remove one of the paper release liners from the strip.
Apply the tabs on the rear of the panel near the outside edges with heavy, uniform pressure (heel of hand). Orient
vertically for maximum holding strength. Remove the second paper release liner from the backside of the tab,
position the panel with the target location on the wall and press firmly to attach. Use 2 Pro Tabs for a 1’ x 1’
Studiofoam panel, 4 Pro Tabs for a 2’ x 2’ Studiofoam panel and 6 Pro Tabs for a 2’ x 4’ Studiofoam panel.
Tubetak Pro
™
Adhesive & Foamtak
™
Spray Adhesive
Both are contact adhesives, so wait a period of time (see below) after applying it to the back of the panel before
trying to adhere the panel to the wall.
• Tubetak Pro: Requires a caulking gun for application. Refer to the diagrams to the right for recommended
application patterns. Temporarily press the foam panel to the wall with moderate pressure to flatten out the
adhesive. Remove from the wall, wait for several minutes for the adhesive to tack and reapply the panel to
the wall. If the adhesive seems to take a while to dry (cure time can be dependent on humidity and other
environmental factors), you may consider supporting the panel in place with a T-pin or finish nail. Visit
Auralex.com for more information.
• Foamtak: Aerosol spray can, US only. hold the can 12 to 18” away from the Studiofoam and shake the can
from side to side to yield a spider web pattern. For best results apply to both surfaces, allow approximately
45 seconds to tack and then apply. For a more temporary bond apply the Foamtak to one surface only.
Storing the Foamtak upside down between applications may allow a more consistent spray pattern. You
can use the Studiofoam carton as spray shields for a cleaner installation. Stacking two Studiofoam
cartons can be used as a convenient work surface. Visit Auralex.com for more information.
TEMP•Tabs
™
TEMP•Tabs: A semi-permanent mounting kit that is a great way to temporarily install your Studiofoam.
Removing the tabs causes some minimal damage to walls that may require spot repairs.
Other Mounting Options
• T-Pins or Finish Nails can be used to tack the panels in place for a quick installation with minimal wall
damage. Sometimes larger nails or panel movement can cause the foam to tear, so this is usually best
as a temporary installation method.
• Studiofoam can be mounted to a backing (such as pegboard, Corex, cardboard, plastic, plywood, etc.)
before installing it on a wall. The assembly allows for added durability when relocating/repurposing
Studiofoam panels.
NOTES:
• EZ-Stick Pro Tabs may not adhere well to some vinyl wallpapers. Apply to surfaces above 50˚ F (10˚ C).
Adhesive could soften and lose adhesion above 105˚ F (40˚ C). EZ-Stick Pro Tabs are considered
permanent and will damage the wall surface when removed.
• Both Tubetak Pro and Foamtak are considered a permanent installation. Removing the panel after the
adhesive has cured can result in some damage to the Studiofoam and the mounting surface. Try using
a sharp knife to carefully separate the panel from the adhesive to minimize tearing. Use a citrus based
adhesive remover to clean the adhesive from the wall. Auralex is not responsible for any damage to walls,
the ceiling or the overall structure that occurs during installation or removal of our products.

Studiofoam
®
high performance acoustical absorption treatment that can easily be mounted to walls & ceilings.
• Prior to mounting, mark desired panel locations on the wall with small pencil marks or masking tape.
• If you need to cut your Studiofoam, use a straightedge and an electric carving knife. Don’t force the knife; let the blades do the work.
