6. Place the panel, nished side facing up, on a at surface.
Transfer the measurements to the panel.
7. Cut clearance holes using a router, saber saw, or hole saw.
Drill or cut from the nished side of the panel. For best results,
when drilling, place a scrap of wood beneath the hole to ensure
a clean cut.
8. Dry t the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
Side Panel (without shower controls)
If the panel does not require cutting to size, proceed to the next
section.
1. Place the panel on top of the shower base and slide it against
the back wall panel. If the side panel has only one nished edge,
make sure that the nished edge is facing out.
2. Scribe (mark) the panel, as shown. If the panel is wider than
the wall, take this width into consideration when scribing the
panel.
Note: Precisely scribing and cutting the panel will provide a
clean 90 degree corner with no need for corner molding.
3. Place the panel, nished side facing up, on a at surface. Place
pieces of masking tape over the area where the saw contacts the
Transolid
®
panel.
