6 7 Install temporary braces to hold the center of the back and side panels tight to the studs for approximately 24 hours while adhesive sets. Add cushioning between panels and braces to prevent scratching the panels. When installing greenboard, position drywall screws above the top nailing flange. If you choose to screw through the nailing flange, you MUST drill clearance holes in the flange to avoid cracking/damaging the flange.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP Remove all construction debris. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor. Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on surface. Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span® mixed with water. Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.
