MOULDING INSTALLATION
General
Use only Focal Point DegaBond 948 Adhesive #33333.
Focal Point mouldings have the same density and workability as white pine.
Mouldings that have been stored in hot conditions should be allowed to cool
down to normal temperatures before installation.
Focal Point mouldings are factory primed.
1. Cutting
Mark projection and depth on walls and ceilings. These dimensions can be
found in the chart on the back of this sheet.
Cut 45˚ compound miters for inside and outside corners (do not cope inside
corners). Apply DegaBond 948 Adhesive #33333 and fasten with trim screws
or finish nails.
Cut butt joints for all straight joints, apply DegaBond 948 Adhesive to both
edges. (do not use scarf or lap joints).
For large profiles (8” face or larger) apply 1/4” bead of DegaBond 948
#33333 to the top and bottom bedding edges on the back side of moulding
(see Figure 1) or apply DegaBond 948 #33333 to inside wall and ceiling marks.
Cut mouldings 1/4” longer and spring into place. If necessary, screw a wooden
block to the wall and spring moulding against the block. Screw or nail
moulding into place then remove the block (see Figure 2).
Screw or nail moulding every 16”.
Remove excess wet adhesive with mineral spirits.
2. Finishing
Caulk mouldings to wall and ceiling using a paintable latex caulk.
Fill screw or nail holes with vinyl spackle.
Cover joints with vinyl spackle and lightly sand with fine grit paper.
If factory primer is sanded off, apply vinyl spackle to area, lightly sand
and prime.
Use a high-quality latex or oil-based paint.
Do NOT use lacquer paints.
