Storage and Handling Store panels on flat, solid, level bolsters. Do not slide panels over other panels. Lift and carry panels vertically to avoid excessive flexing. Check all work surfaces and remove all abrasive points to avoid scratching. Storage, machining, and fabrication must be maintained at a relative humidity between 35% and 80%. This is imperative during long periods of sub-zero temperatures where rapid dehydration may cause severe stress and checking. Cleaning and Care Decorbond surfaces become soiled in use, water-soluble materials are easily removed with a soft cloth dampened by a mild solution of household detergent. Grease, lipstick, shoe polish and other water-insoluble substances can be wiped away with mild organic solvents such as rubbing alcohol, paint thinner, etc. Minor scorch marks, such as those caused by cigarettes, may be removed by gentle rubbing with a non-abrasive cleanser on a damp cloth. Decorbond's supertex (suede) finish requires no waxing or polishing. Machining All saws, dados, and routers should be firmly anchored to minimize machine vibration. Bearings should be snug to allow saw arbors to run perfectly true. Collars must be clean and balanced so that the rim of the saw blade runs true. A minimum arbor speed of 3300 rpm under load is recommended for circular saws. Routers and shapers should be run at 360 to 7200 rpm, but at a constant feed rate to keep the cutter head from overheating. Feed speed will vary somewhat with the diameter and number of teeth of the saw blade. A tooth load in the range of .003" to .005" is recommended. Only carbide-tipped tools, properly sharpened, will give a clean, chip-free edge. Where applicable, triple-chip sawtooth configurations used with a scoring blade are recommended for high quality work. For saws not so equipped, a type 25 carbide-tipped, hollow-ground circular saw blade is recommended. To maintain the proper blade angle in relation to the top panel surface, a stack height of no more than three inches is advisable.
