2. Remove backing from factory
applied pressure sensitive tape.
Grasp flat panel by the edges,
carefully position in the corner.
Press firmly to wall. Move hand
pressure up and down and side to
side, making sure all areas make
firm contact to the wall. Repeat for
other panel installation.
3. IF TRIMMING IS REQUIRED
If exposed back wall area for
second panel installation is less
than 299, trimming of the second
wall panel will be required.
Transfer measurements of ex-
posed back wall onto second panel
so that you may trim the panel on
the side opposite that which will go
into the corner. It is not necessary
for the center seam to butt as it will
be covered with the center panel.
Cut panel from back side with
saber saw. Lightly sand edge with
fine or medium sandpaper. This will
remove any rough edges.
IMPORTANT
If you are installing a TK-60
bathtub wall panel trim kit, it will be
necessary to trim the center soap
dish panel. Refer to step #3 of the
Swanstone trim kit installation
procedure.
4. CENTER PANEL
If a gap exists between the two
back flat wall panels, locate the
foam spacer 1/4⬙ from the upper
edge of the right and left panels.
Foam spacer may be trimmed to
fit. This spacer will aid in the
caulking application to follow.
Apply 1/8⬙ bead of adhesive to the
back of the center panel, keeping
the adhesive at least one inch from
the tape and panel edges. Remove
backing from factory applied
pressure sensitive tape.
5. Carefully center panel. Firmly
press the panel from top to bottom,
making sure of a solid contact.
