WORKING CONDITIONS

Before installing American Pro Décor’s Polyurethane Base mouldings, make

sure mouldings and adhesives are placed at room temperature 24 hours

before installation. This allows material to adjust to the temperature of the

room to avoid expansion or contraction.

The recommended room temperature to install mouldings is between 50°

to 95° Fahrenheit

Mouldings can be painted either before installation or after. It is up to the

installer.

Use a high quality Acrylic latex or Oil based paint. Mouldings are factory pre-primed and ready to paint or faux finish. MEASURING AND CUTTING Polyurethane Base mouldings should be cut ¼” longer when filling a gap. It would spring into place. We recommend using a carbide saw blade with 80 (80T) or 120 (120T) teeth or more. If using a compound mitre box, follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mitering angles for inside or outside corners.
