Reviews
According to experts, Penosil mounting adhesive foam has its own characteristics. It does not have a specific smell, depending on the variety, it may be white or beige in color and is distinguished by its simplicity in operation.
Masters point out that it’s a pleasure to work with assembly foam, but for a good result, you must comply with the conditions marked on the label. For example, winter varieties do maintain the indicated temperature, although when working indoors, they give a slight primary expansion.
At a temperature of +35 degrees C, the mass does not always foam, and sometimes even flows down the building structure. To solve the problem, it is necessary to shade the area with the structure to be processed. In addition, a sticky mass may bubble in wet areas.
