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.

That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

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.
