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.
