Installation Instructions – Applying Your Morialz QR Code Plate

Important Note: The Morialz QR code plate is designed to create a lasting tribute to your loved one. To ensure proper adhesion and longevity, please follow these installation instructions carefully.

Materials Needed:

  • Morialz QR code plate
  • Rubbing alcohol or a mild solvent
  • Clean, lint-free cloth
  • Measuring tape or ruler
  • Level (optional)
  • Gloves (recommended)
  • Soft bristle brush (for textured surfaces)

Step 1: Surface Preparation

  • Start by selecting the appropriate location on the gravestone, urn, or other memorial where you wish to attach the QR code plate.
  • Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use rubbing alcohol or a mild solvent and a clean, lint-free cloth to clean the surface thoroughly.
  • For textured surfaces, use a soft bristle brush to remove any debris from the crevices.
  • Allow the cleaned surface to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 2: Thoughtful Plate Placement

  • Before attaching your QR code plate, carefully select the ideal location on the gravestone, urn, or other memorial.
  • Consider proximity – place it within a reasonable scanning distance of no more than 2 meters, ensuring that visitors can effortlessly scan the code with their smartphones.
  • Opt for a position that minimizes the risk of debris accumulation over time, allowing the QR code to remain clear and accessible.
  • Additionally, angle the plate slightly to prevent water from collecting on its surface, ensuring that it remains legible and pristine, even when exposed to the elements.

Step 3: Applying the Plate

  • With clean hands (or wearing gloves), gently peel the liner from the back of the QR code plate to reveal the 3M VHB self-adhesive tape.
  • Carefully align the plate with the marked position on the memorial’s surface. Press it firmly into place.
  • Use a clean, dry cloth to apply even pressure to the entire surface of the plate. This will activate the adhesive and ensure a strong bond.

Step 4: Bonding Time

  • Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 72 hours under normal temperature conditions (between 60°F – 100°F or 15°C – 38°C). This curing time is crucial for achieving maximum adhesion strength.
  • Avoid subjecting the plate to heavy physical stress or tampering during this curing period.

Alternative Application Surfaces

  • While Morialz QR code plates are versatile and designed for a variety of surfaces, they may not adhere well to certain materials, such as extremely rough, porous, or curved surfaces.
  • Avoid applying the plate to surfaces that are heavily textured, uneven, or excessively dirty.
  • For surfaces with significant curvature or rough texture, consider creating a flat and clean mounting area using an appropriate adhesive backing board or similar material.
  • If you encounter difficulties with adhesion due to surface type, consider consulting with a professional adhesive specialist for tailored recommendations.

Inappropriate Usages

  • Do not apply the QR code plate to surfaces that are wet, damp, or have condensation.
  • Avoid applying the plate to surfaces that are exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations or direct sunlight, as this may affect the adhesive’s performance.
  • Do not use excessive force or attempt to reposition the plate once it is firmly adhered, as this may damage the adhesive or the plate itself.

Maintenance and Editing

  • You can edit the information on your memorial page anytime by visiting morialz.com and accessing your dashboard. Changes will reflect on the QR code plate for future scans.

3M VHB Adhesive Note

  • The QR code plate comes equipped with 3M VHB (Very High Bond) double-sided adhesive tape, renowned for its exceptional bonding strength.
  • While 3M VHB is engineered for outdoor applications and is known for its durability, it is essential to understand that environmental factors, such as temperature extremes and UV exposure, can affect its long-term performance.
  • 3M, the manufacturer, estimates the lifetime expectation of 3M VHB tape for outdoor usage to be approximately 15-20 years under optimal conditions.
  • Over time, if you notice any loosening or changes in adhesion, we recommend reaching out to our customer support team for guidance and potential solutions. Your satisfaction and the lasting tribute to your loved one’s memory are our top priorities.

By placing your QR code plate thoughtfully and understanding the characteristics of the 3M VHB adhesive, you can ensure a secure and enduring memorial that honors your loved one for years to come.

By following these installation instructions and adhering to the recommended precautions, you can ensure that your Morialz QR code plate serves as a long-lasting and cherished tribute to your loved one’s memory.
