Mouldings
For a great finish, start with GoldenEdge HMR (high moisture resistance). Mouldings manufactured in New Zealand from premium quality GoldenEdge Medium Density Fibreboard. GoldenEdge HMR Mouldings are designed for interior applications and are available in a wide range of profiles to suit both modern and traditional decors. The convenient 5.4m length enables the fitting of architraves around a door to be completed from a single piece. New pack sizes are lighter and easier to handle.

Applications
GoldenEdge HMR Mouldings are designed for interior use and are not recommended for use in situations where they will be exposed to water or prolonged high humidity. Do not use in shower cabinets or saunas. They should not be used for exterior applications. In situations where they will be exposed to heat from fireplaces or solid fuel heaters, GoldenEdge HMR Mouldings should be installed with the same clearances used for solid timber. GoldenEdge HMR Mouldings are resistant to fungal attack provided their moisture content does not exceed 20% for extended periods. They are also resistant to attack by common household wood borer. Prior to fixing, GoldenEdge HMR Mouldings should be protected from moisture, excessive heat and direct sunlight. After fixing, nail or screw holes should be stopped and sanded prior to sealing with paint or a clear finish.

Profiles & Sizes

Conditioning
All MUF Mouldings and other wood-based products including timber will shrink when the moisture content falls as a result of drying conditions.
Prior to fixing, GoldenEdge MUF Mouldings should be protected from moisture, excessive heat and direct sunlight.
It is recommended that the GoldenEdge MUF Mouldings are removed from the protective plastic wrapping and conditioned at the site of installation for a period of at least 48 hours.

Nailing
When fixing GoldenEdge MUF Mouldings by nailing, 40mm or 50mm finishing brads are recommended and should penetrate a minimum of 25mm into the framing timber. Should it be necessary to nail through the side rather than the face of the moulding, this should be done at least 25mm from the end of the moulding.

Screwing
A pilot hole equal to the diameter of the screw should be drilled through the moulding before screwing. When screwing through the edge of mouldings this should be done at least 25mm from the end of the moulding.

Stapling
Excessive penetration of the staples should be avoided and staple length selected to give a penetration into the framing timber equal to the thickness of the moulding being fixed.

Adhesives
GoldenEdge MUF Mouldings are suitable for fixing using building adhesives. Contact, stud and wallboard adhesives manufactured by leading adhesive manufacturers should be used in accordance with their instructions.

Stopping
Stop all nail and staple holes with a proprietary plastic wood putty. Match and blend colours as required to suit. Lightly sand with 320 grit paper.

Painting
For best results application of three coats is recommended. First coat primer/undercoat is critical to the final finish. It is recommended that primer/undercoat is applied to paint manufacturer's recommendations. Apply second and third coats or additional coats as required.
A light sand using 280 to 320 grit paper is recommended after the first coat and between subsequent coats.
NOTE
GoldenEdge Primed Mouldings have been machine coated with a premium acrylic undercoat. Apply two even coats of premium acrylic, enamel or an acrylic mix to finish. For superior gloss finish apply an additional undercoat (allowing to dry overnight) prior to the two top coats.

Clear Finishing
Apply first coat of clear finish according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations, taking specific note of drying and recoating times. Apply second and third clear coats according to manufacturer's recommendations. A light sand using 320 grit paper is recommended after the first coat and between subsequent coats.
