What products attack the glue on static Frames
« on: September 08, 2011, 02:54:36 PM »
I have been having a lot of screens coming unglued. I think it is the GR-70 from CCI? Anyone else having this happen? I have lost 4 screens in the last 2 weeks. I think it maybe the screens since they have all been from the same company.

How old are the screens?  I don't deal with statics anymore but I did for years, and sometimes they just go for no other reason than they were poorly made.  I've bought statics from a dozen different places and they all had varying degrees of quality and longevity purely based on who I bought them from.  I'm not saying the chemical isn't doing the damage, but rather giving you something else to go with in case it isn't.

I remember seeing this spelled out on the CCI site for some products. Call the techs if you can't find the info on their sometimes bewildering site.

Alan,

I think your right ( I thought the same thing.) I have had these for maybe 3 months. I just recleaned 9 with just GR-70 (the guy i had come in did a not so good job) and then gegreesed them and when I came back to coat them 2 had popped. That’s why I think it may be the GR-70.

I will contact CCI and see what they know about it?

Thanks Jon

We had this happen to a lot of ours at one point. I was trying to figure it out for weeks and then it dawned on me. When we sent them back they were grinding the edge of the frame a new way that was not working well. Sent a ton back and they fixed the problem. Take a look at the frame where the mesh is glued on. I would ask your supplier if they started using a new glue or changed something.
