Frequently asked questions
Can I use 885AE RoughMark on surfaces other than textured walls?
GF 885AE RoughMark™ Cast has an adhesive designed to perform on a wide range of smooth and rough surfaces, including low and zero VOC painted drywall, painted metal, wood, plastic, and glass. For exterior or unsealed masonry applications, surface temperature must be at or above 40°F at time of installation (50°F minimum recommended for unsealed porous substrates), and a pre-installation test panel is required. Performance on unsealed masonry in freeze/thaw environments may vary. Refer to the GF RoughMark™ Application Guide for full surface and environmental requirements.
Do I need to use heat during installation?
The best practice for any textured wall installation includes using a heat gun and foam roller to soften the film and work it deep into the surface profile. For GF 885AE, hold the heat gun 2–3 inches from the film surface and heat a 1.5–2 inch band until the film becomes pliable, then immediately follow with firm foam roller pressure. Move at approximately 1–2 inches per second, overlapping each pass by 50–70%. Note: heat gun output settings vary by model — the objective is a pliable film, not a specific gun temperature. See the GF RoughMark™ Application Guide for full installation procedures.
I’m used to using permanent adhesives for wall graphics. Is this going to be reliable long-term?
GF 885AE features our unique HTR adhesive that is designed for ease of install, long term durability, and clean removal.
