FineGuard is used with the Pebbletex Wall System to adhere expanded polystyrene insulation board to the following acceptable substrates:
- Finestop
- Finestop RA
- Unpainted and unglazed concrete or unit masonry
- PermaBase® brand cement board (or other ASTM C1325 Type A Exterior approved cement boards)

Note: Wood-based sheathing substrates require priming with a sheathing primer
FineGuard is used with Pebbletex EIFS, Pebbletex-D, D7, -D10, Finescreen Cement Board Stucco and all Finestone Surfacing Systems to embed Corner Mesh and Finestone Reinforcing Mesh.
FineGuard will also adhere expanded polystyrene insulation board (EPS) to expanded polystyrene insulation board enabling the build out of architectural shapes and details.
