BACK WALL MOLDING
3. Transfer the width measurement of the back wall onto one of
the molding pieces. Trim as needed. Choose the molding design
pattern that is consistent with the vertical strips and apply "globs"
of adhesive following the pattern illustrated. Final fit by setting
into position. Note that the horizontal wall molding will also be
centered on the rosettes atop the vertical moldings. This mea-
surement must be considered when positioning the back wall
molding.
SIDE WALLS – HORIZONTAL MOLDING
4. Transfer the measurements from the side walls onto the mold-
ing pieces. Cut as needed. Select the design that is consistent
with your application. Follow the adhesive pattern in step #3 and
final fit.
NOTE: It may be necessary to cut one of the side wall horizontal
moldings to allow for the location of the shower arm. Measure and
locate the position of the desired cut. Use router, spade bit, twist
drill, or hole saw only. DO NOT USE AUGER BITS. Cut hole 1/2"
larger than the diameter of the pipe. Drill from the exposed side
of the molding.
POSITIVELY NO HAMMERING
OR NAILING IS TO BE DONE.
FINAL FIT
5. Final fit the vertical moldings first, then the two rosettes. Follow
the adhesive "glob" pattern used previously. Use the ‘tick" marks
to position the vertical moldings and rosettes.
NOTE:
To promote contact until adhesive sets, use temporary bracing and
allow adhesive to cure overnight. Temporary bracing may be con-
structed and wedged into position as illustrated by using lengths
of 1 x 2’s, 2 x 2’s, or 1 x 3’s. Lumber should be cut as needed.
CAULKING
Following instructions on the caulking tube…apply a bead of caulk
along the bottom and to edge of the back and sidewalls. Also
apply caulk to all vertical seams and edges.
CLEANING
Clean your Swanstone Molding and Rosettes as you would any
other fine bath fixture, using normal household detergents and
cleansers. Just wiping the wall surface quickly removes water-
marks and residues. Occasional scrubbing with household abra-
sive cleansers ensures that the original luster is maintained, simi-
lar to tile and other permanent type bath fixture materials.
REPAIRING
Use 400-grit sandpaper to remove scratches and gouges in the sur-
face. A Scotch Brite pad can be used to blend in the area.
