What if the vapor retarder (facer) is no longer adhered to the SAFETOUCH™ Insulation?
The facer on SAFETOUCH™ Insulation has a thermally activated adhesive that can be reactivated by using a hot-air gun or iron. Excessive heat will melt the facer, so use caution. If the facer is partially sticking to the fiber, the insulation may be able to be installed such that the facer hangs down and covers the insulation. Staples can also be used to hold the film in the cavity covering the insulation.
