Ali frames

[Andy M]

When rendering to these what's your method? ,without putting a stop bead against the frame. Some of my customers don't want this and we've been using different tapes only removing when the reveals are cut back to stop scratching the ali frames.
Problem we have is removing the tape after leaving a trim job,even after cutting through with a new blade and spat?

Have you tried low tack masking tape? Comes away easier.

Hi Andy, we've had these problems and started using apu/frame seal beads they seal the frame and protect it from getting scratched etc

yep we use these,
ali powder coated windows are getting more and more common as the price drops on them.

Like the idea of these,sound bomb proof ,how much lol?.

We pay £130 per box of 30 at 6mm saves loads of cleaning and looks proffesional

[Andy M]

How does that work with a 15mm corner bead? Are they kicked in?

Do your corner beads first then line up the apu to the angles it's a bit fiddler but worth it in end yo7 can use 15mm and put them on first

Why don't you use 15mm then mate to save dabbing the 6mm's out?

Ya don't dab them they have sticky pads that stick to frame either way they can be time consuming also 15mm are quite a bit more expensive turns out they don't keep them in stock that's how I ended up using 6mm

So you stick them with the pad to the depth you want on the window and then build out the back of the bead wing?

I use apu beads for thin coat but not for mono too much pissing about lining them up with eachother, the cost of them are pennies really with everything considered like return visits to mastic openings ect

@Jgreenplastering yeah just stick them on pal and render the reveals and like mucky says saves time later on sealing up etc.
