Studiofoam®

Installation & User Guide

Thank you for purchasing Auralex® Studiofoam® high performance acoustical absorption treatment thatcan easily be mounted to walls & ceilings.
• Prior to mounting, mark desired panel locations on the wall with small pencil marks or masking tape.
• If you need to cut your Studiofoam, use a straightedge and an electric carving knife. Don’t force the knife; let the blades do the work.

EZ-Stick Pro™
Clean attachment points on the wall surface with Isopropyl alcohol (avoid household cleaners), wipe gently andlet dry. Separate the EZ-Stick Pro Tabs from each other. Remove one of the paper release liners from the strip.
Apply the tabs on the rear of the panel near the outside edges with heavy, uniform pressure (heel of hand). Orient
vertically for maximum holding strength. Remove the second paper release liner from the backside of the tab,position the panel with the target location on the wall and press firmly to attach. Use 2 Pro Tabs for a 1’ x 1’
Studiofoam panel, 4 Pro Tabs for a 2’ x 2’ Studiofoam panel and 6 Pro Tabs for a 2’ x 4’ Studiofoam panel andall LENRD® bass traps.

Tubetak Pro™ Adhesive & Foamtak™ Spray Adhesive
Both are contact adhesives, so wait a period of time (see below) after applying it to the back of the panel before
trying to adhere the panel to the wall.

EZ-Stick Pro™ Tabs shown• Tubetak Pro: (Gray color formulation.) Requires a caulking gun for application. Refer to the diagrams to the right forrecommended application patterns. To assure positive adhesion, surfaces must be clean, dry & free of foreignmaterials. New drywall must be primed & painted. Cut the tip off the threaded nozzle feature on the front ofthe tube. Cut 1” off of the end of the nozzle and screw it onto the front of the tube. Apply a continuous bead ofadhesive approximately ¼” wide to the back of the foam about 1-1½” from the edges. Immediately flatten theapplied beads of adhesive with a putty knife and apply the foam panel to the wall or ceiling. There is no need
to wait for Tubetak Pro to tack up. Press firmly over the entire surface of the panel to achieve a proper bond.

• Foamtak: (Orange color formulation.) To assure positive adhesion, surfaces must be clean, dry & free of foreignmaterials. Aerosol spray can, US only. hold the can 3 to 5” away from the Studiofoam and apply uniform
bands of adhesive. For best results apply to both surfaces, allow a minimum of 60 to 75 seconds to tack andthen apply. Test periodically for tackiness with a knuckle. Firmly press the two surfaces together while theadhesive is still tacky. For a more temporary bond apply the Foamtak to one surface only. You can use theStudiofoam carton as spray shields for a cleaner installation. Stacking two Studiofoam cartons can beused as a convenient work surface. Visit Auralex.com for more information.

TEMP•Tabs™
TEMP•Tabs: A semi-permanent mounting kit that is a great way to temporarily install your Studiofoam.
Removing the tabs causes some minimal damage to walls that may require spot repairs.

Other Mounting Options• T-Pins or Finish Nails can be used to tack the panels in place for a quick installation with minimal walldamage. Sometimes larger nails or panel movement can cause the foam to tear, so this is usually best
as a temporary installation method. NOTE: Wall Installations only.

Application of Auralex® Foamtak™ shown• Studiofoam can be mounted to a backing (such as pegboard, Corex, cardboard, plastic, plywood, etc.) before
installing it on a wall. The assembly allows for added durability when relocating/repurposing Studiofoampanels.

NOTES:• EZ-Stick Pro Tabs may not adhere well to some vinyl wallpapers. Apply to surfaces above 50˚ F (10˚ C).
Adhesive could soften and lose adhesion above 105˚ F (40˚ C). EZ-Stick Pro Tabs are considered
permanent and will damage the wall surface when removed.
• Both Tubetak Pro and Foamtak are considered a permanent installation. Removing the panel after theadhesive has cured can result in some damage to the Studiofoam and the mounting surface. Try using asharp knife to carefully separate the panel from the adhesive to minimize tearing. Use a citrus based adhesive
remover to clean the adhesive from the wall. Auralex is not responsible for any damage to walls, the ceiling or
the overall structure that occurs during installation or removal of our products.
