How to Recover a 4x4 Reflector Board

• Use heat gun to remove old reflector material. You’ll need to slowly pull up the material as you heat up the adhesive and pull it off.

• There will be bits left over, use paint thinner to clean the old surface. It should be relatively smooth once you’re done.

• Measure out the replacement silver reflector material and cut two ~ 2’ x 4’ pieces. They can be a bit bigger than the board as you will trim them down.

• Make sure the surface is dry and use Spray 77 to coat the surface. Do a pass spraying horizontally along the board. Then do another pass where you spray vertically.

• Using 2 people, put the new reflector material on.

• Taking your hand, spread out the material from the center out. Get out all of the air bubbles.

• Then put the other piece on and you can overlap the two pieces of material slightly. Make sure to get out the air bubbles as well.

• Using a sharp razor blade, cut around the edges of the board and trim off all excess material.

• Take a straight edge and clamp it to the board at the center using furniture clamps. You can use a piece of square tubing or any other straight edge. Then make a cut down the middle, make sure you line it up with the center of the board. (There should be marks in the blue channel around the edges to figure out middle.

• Make sure the edges are really stuck down around the board.
