2.28 Repeat these steps for every course making sure to install the appropriate vertical spacer at the beginning, between each glass block and at the end of the ARQUE

glass blocks. Remember to apply sealant to the vertical spacers. Check with a level to confirm that the wall is straight, level and plumb as you build. Always apply
sealant to the top of glass blocks, not on the installed horizontal spacers. IMPORTANT: After completing the second course of glass blocks check the horizontal
and vertical joints for sealant. If there is sealant in the joints you need to use a smaller bead or dab of sealant or slightly move the location of the bead of
sealant behind the raised edge of the glass block face toward the center of the block.
2.29 After installing four or five courses of glass blocks on the curved wall, you may want to stop and let the sealant set while your resume installing the remaining
courses of the straight wall. Always apply sealant to the glass blocks not on the installed horizontal spacers. Check the alignment of the glass blocks vertically and
horizontally as you build. Continue installing glass block until all courses are completed. Check one final time with a level to confirm that the wall is straight, level
and plumb. Use a rubber mallet to help aid final alignment. Once satisfied, let the sealant dry overnight.

inch beads of sealant on the top of the installed glass blocks behind the raised edges of the glass blocks.
2.27 Now, you will need to draw a plumb line vertically up the wall. Place a four feet level even with the V-notch in the wall anchor and draw a straight, level line on the
wall. Install two screws in the anchor (screws provided with anchors). Use this line as a guide when installing the rest of the anchors.
