this panel. Set the next panel into place over the bottom plate and tip it into its final position.

Measure the total depth of the header required and add any sheathing or plating to the top or bottom of the header to achieve this dimension. Measure the maximum length the header can be and cut the header 1/8” short of this, taking care to avoid the nails in the Insul-Beam II as you cut.

Apply Premier Mastic to the insides of the opening and drop the Insul-Beam II horizontally into place. Do not nail the panel skins to this header yet. Apply Premier Mastic to the top of the panel, down the center of the Insul-Beam II and inside both ends.
