STEP 4. ADJACENT PANEL

Check the panel dimensions against the floor layout. Apply a 3/8” diameter bead of Premier Mastic along the sides and down the center of the bottom plate. Slide the panel into position. Lift the panel over the bottom plate by using either manpower or mechanical means. After the

panel is standing, check for proper placement. Next, plumb the wall section in both directions and fasten it to the plate and the adjacent panel with the specified fasteners. If necessary, brace the wall before moving to the next panel.

STEP 4. ADJACENT PANEL

Move the next panel into position and apply Premier Mastic in the same manner as with the first panel. On this panel you will run an additional 3/8” diameter bead of mastic down the center of the foam-to-foam interface. Place splines on the floor and run the Mastic down one side and up the other, approximately 1/4” from the edge on the spline.
