Fasten Neoloy Tough-Cell Sections
Sections are fastened in series before opening and expanding the cells. The ends of adjoining sections are typically
fastened the length of their long dimension (when closed), while the face (walls) of adjoining sections are fastened
together typically across the road in the direction of the cell expansion.

     CAUTION: It is recommended that 2 people perform the fastening. Observe all safety precautions when using
     the pneumatic stapler to prevent serious injury to hands and body.

Use the Correct Number of Staples
1.   Fasten using the number of staples required by the cell
     height (see Figure 10 ):
     < PRS 075 mm – 3 staples (minimum)
     < PRS 100 mm – 4 staples
     < PRS 120 mm – 4 staples
     < PRS 150 mm – 5 staples
     < PRS 200 mm – 6 staples

     NOTES: Correct positioning of the top and bottom
     staples is critical. Use ½ inch (13 mm) galvanized staples.
     Verify that staples penetrate all strips and/or seams.             FIGURE 10. STAPLES FASTENING SECTIONS

Staple Sections End to End (Figure 12)
1) Fasten each end of the 2 sections:
   a) The staples must penetrate the seams (2 strips) on
       each section (total of 4 strips).

2) Align and interleaf the ends of adjoining sections.
   a) Overlap the end seams of the two adjoining sections
        by 3 cm and ensure that their surfaces are flush.

3) Fasten the edges of adjoining sections at the seams using
   the pneumatic stapler.
   a) Overlap the end seams of the two adjoining sections
       by 3 cm and ensure that their surfaces are flush.                   FIGURE 11. FASTENING END TO END
   b) Make the overlap uniform for the entire section.


Fasten Sections Face to Face (Figure 12)
1.   Align 2 adjacent sections face to face (the “long” sides).
     a) The ends and perforations (if exist) should be aligned.

2.   Continue fastening the sections by stapling the middle of
     each cell (unperforated area) along the entire length of
     the strip until completed.

     NOTE: Each cell (seam) must be fastened properly –
     do not skip any cells, as this may cause failure of the
     entire section.
