What Are Efex?

Efex Are Bendable

Efex is the only genuinely bendable moldings and appliques available today. There are many types of embellishments and appliqués however because they are not flexible they must either be applied to the completely flat surface or fill the gaps after application. They can also be stretched up to 2% to ensure a tight fit. No special tools are required beyond a pair of scissors and suitable contact cement.
Made from historical architectural designs, Efex are proudly MADE IN THE USA

 

What are Efex and how to attach them

Simple to Use?

Efex can be applied to almost any surface – wood, plaster, metal, glass, and terracotta by using  DAP® Weldwood contact cement, it’s simply the best one we’ve used so far! Apply to back of the appliqué and to surface you’re attaching to. Press the two surfaces together once the glue is dry to the touch, and it’s done! You can start finishing your piece once the appliqué is attached.

If you’re using a different brand make sure you check the manufacturer’s instructions, these may differ from brand to brand. Don’t use epoxy or PVA glues as they will not adhere.

Use Efex Anywhere?

Efex can be used anywhere around the home including kitchens and bathrooms. Use on furniture, walls, doors, or mirrors. Use to create picture frames and boxes. In fact, if it needs decorating this is the product for you. They can be used outside too! For garden uses such as terracotta, store inside during extreme winter weather, or in a sheltered area.
