Place the CleanCut Convertible into position once more to inspect the fit and position. Also inspect and
make sure that the waterproof wrap is completely covered by the CleanCut Convertible, and trim off any
excess wrap.
11.
Apply adhesive to the top of the waterproof membrane. Place a substantial bead of adhesive on the top
of the tub where the CleanCut Convertible will be seated. Adhesive on the top of the tub reinforces the
CleanCut Convertible.
12.
Prior to placing the CleanCut Convertible into the channel, it is necessary to gently pass a low flame
several times along the perimeter of the cut out where the tub is met. This will help promote bonding
between the CleanCut Convertible and the bathtub once adhesive is applied. Use caution when using the
torch and do not hold heat on one area of the product as it may discolor or melt.
Place the CleanCut Convertible into the channel and gently press into place.
Completing the Installation
1.
Before finalizing the installation, first make sure the CleanCut Convertible is in proper position and
fully compressed. Press firmly and evenly on the CleanCut Convertible to ensure proper placement.
Do not remove the plug for the remainder of the installation process.
2.
Thoroughly wipe the tub area with isopropyl alcohol where the adhesive will bond, and allow enough
time to flash off before applying the adhesive. Do Not apply the isopropyl alcohol directly on the
adhesive as it will prevent the adhesive from drying or curing. Do Not use to clean or smooth your final
bead as well.
3.
It is necessary to caulk around the entire perimeter of the CleanCut Convertible. Before beginning to
caulk, fasten the plug into the frame to ensure that frame holds the proper shape until the adhesive
cures.
4.
Begin by using the recommended adhesive along the sides of the CleanCut Convertible. Begin on the
left side and complete the process, before moving to the right side and bottom. It is recommended that
you wear gloves during this step to avoid direct exposure to the adhesive. Run your gloved finger along
the beads and wipe the excess on a folded paper towel. Try to smooth the beads one-time only.
5.
Underneath the bottom edges of the CleanCut Convertible are a bit more difficult to see and the angled
tip should be used for completing this step. Use the small mirror to inspect the bead and to verify that all
surfaces have been properly sealed.
6.
Spend a few minutes at the end of the job to once again clean up the tub and the bathroom area. Upon
completion, place a sign on the CleanCut Convertible warning not to use the tub for 2 days while the
adhesive cures. Once the adhesive has cured, the plug may be removed.
