Use and Care Guide

>Can I use the system outdoors as well?
Yes! The adhesive will not decay, withstands UV radiation, is water-resistant and is not damaged by
freezing (however, it should be applied at a temperature between 40 and 105F (+5 and +40
0
C).
>Will the system fail over time?
Absolutely not! Once the nie wieder bohren system has been properly attached, its special single-
component adhesive will ensure a permanent bond. Moreover, it will retain its elasticity and not fray
the way many textile adhesive tapes do after only a few weeks. Moreover, short impact loads will not
cause the adhesive surface to crack, as often happens with two-component adhesives that harden to
form a crystalline connection. The nie wieder bohren system is a totally new experience in bonding
technology!
>I followed the instructions carefully, but the adapter still fell from the wall. Why did that
happen?
According to our experience, if the nie wieder bohren system fails to deliver what we promise, it's
usually for one of three reasons. Each of these reasons has to do with improper conditions for
bonding. From the so-called fracture pattern of the adhesive on the back of the adapter, one can
easily determine what the problem is.
1. Cavities in the adhesive- caused by disturbing (pressing down) the adapter after inserting adhesive
which causes air pockets and limits the bond.
2. Insufficient curing time- caused by trying to mount the accessory prior to the suggested curing time of
12 hours (Grab bars recommend 24 hours)
3. Separation at surface- caused by not cleaning surface properly prior to installation. Be sure to use
rubbing alcohol only and allow to dry completely (1 hour) to be sure the surface is free of all
household cleaners, grease, soap deposits etc.
>Can the adhesive cause damage to surfaces?
No. We know of no load-bearing material that would be harmed by the
chemical substances in the nie wieder bohren adhesive.
