    Do people still use f60! Jantac or contact spray is the way! Plus apparently f60 contains something called,toulerine very bad for you........

    Dont think that zega tape or contact spray are good enough for sticking capping myself, always use f60 tried and tested.

    But it sticks like f**k.
    Much as I like contact spray, F61 is miles better for some installs.
    I have been bending capping round 90 degree wall`s today, in about 5 degree`s. Contact spray will stick it, but it will gap on the returns.
    F61 with a notch, and some heat, will stick it flat to wall.

    Rather have gaps on my capping than the big c.... Used f60 in a power station chemical lab they went mental and pointed out how bad the chemicals in it were, each to their own I suppose!:p

    When you say " they went mental", did they start behaving like you? You Nutter!

    I've just got 200 m of cap n cove from Gemini adhesives. Apparently there gold will stick the capping solid!! I'm in two minds as when I stuck a load of capping last year I had to go back to f60 as the gold wasn't holding it but Gemini are guaranteeing it so ill give it a go. But I do hate using the f60 easier with spray.

    i just started capping and coving last summer. Never done it in my 7 years till last summer with my new company. Good skill getting into, wouldn't say im perfect at it but im getting better, not the easiest job to do when your on your own most of the time, f60 is nasty and messy too!

    When using the gemini adhesive no it doesnt stick aswell as 61 when using gradus capping as when you jse whatever tool to feed vinyl into capping it does pull from the wall even when using heat but using it with the ifda capping its really good and sticks well as you dont need a tool to help tuck vinyl under capping
