TOOL & MATERIAL
CHECKLIST
IMPORTANT INFO
• Always install before painting or staining, and make sure material is clean and free of dirt and oils.
• This flexible moulding is designed for interior and exterior use. The use of paint or gel stain and
sealer is recommended for all applications.
• Conventional woodworking tools can be used. Urethane can be cut, sanded, and shaped with ease.
• Always install moulding in a relaxed position. Use construction adhesive on back side and nails to
secure in place until adhesive bonds. DO NOT use staples to fasten. Keep nails to minimum, at least
6” apart and DO NOT nail closer than 3/8” from edge of moulding.
• Use a thin adhesive such as a Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) for bonding joints.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.
Wear safety goggles.
Follow adhesive, power tools, and paint manufacturers’ instructions and users manuals.
Use common sense and follow good construction practices.
1. Measure the wall where you need flexible moulding, keeping in mind the
flexible moulding comes in linear pieces, so allow for cuts and miters. The
flex moulding will readily conform to the curvature of the wall.
2. Once you have cut the moulding to size, put a continuous bead of premium
grade construction adhesive on the back of the flexible moulding, hand nail or
use nail gun to secure.
3. Flex trim moulding is cellular in nature, the same as wood, and will nail with-
out predrilling or dimpling.
4. After installation, ll nail holes with wood putty and sand. Let dry before
nishing.
5. Paint or gel stain moulding and apply appropriate sealant for your application.
NOTE: Flexible moulding is not completely UV stable and may grey or darken
over time if not painted (or stained). Clean material before painting using
soap and water or mineral spirits. A primer coat is recommended but not re-
quired and DO NOT paint before installation. The material is flexible and the
paint may crack during installation. All paints work well however, oil base
paints may take longer than usual to dry. Gel stain is required for staining.
Clear coat after staining or painting.
