Please Note:

“EPOFLEXY” is a very tough and durable material perfect for the manufacture of model
aircraft. When using screwed fixings with “EPOFLEXY” components it is important to
tighten the screws sufficiently to provide a firm fixing.

Excess tightening could result in the foam material becoming compressed, possibly damaging
or distorting the part. Take care to ensure that all screws are tightened sufficiently to provide
a firm fixing, but do-not over tighten. We recommend that all fixings are checked regularly
for security and safety purposes.
