Install
molding elements on solid substrate
backing.
Mark
out the distance on the wall to be covered
by first piece of molding. Oversize
and cut molding by adding 1/8”
for each 5 feet of molding required.

tot he edge, it will squeeze out when
you press it against the mounting
surface. This will be hard to clean
off. Use mineral spirits to remove
excess adhesive. Start nails at a
45 degree angle approximately ½”
from the edge of the element. Starting
at one end and secure this end with
finishing nails.
Push
element flat to the mounting surface
and secure with finishing nails on 16”
centers or less. For multiple long runs,
anchor first element using previous
procedure. Oversize and cut next element
piece. Secure second element at the
mark on the surface. Butt free end of
molding into first piece of molding
using adhesive between the elements.
Push the first element flat on to the
wall and secure with finishing nails.
Certain
