Measuring the Panels (Figure 2)
1. Shim: Place shims (1/16” thick) at the base of
where the sheets will rest. This allows for better
ow of the silicone. Laminate chips make great
shims. (Shims may not be necessary if the slope
of the pan creates a natural adhesion gap.)
2. Trial Fit & Scribe the Panels As Needed: Place
the panel on the shims where it will be installed
and check the t. If necessary, scribe the panel for
a better t. Trim the scribe with a belt sander.
3. Clean the Sheets and Installation Area: With
denatured alcohol and a clean rag, clean the back
of the sheets and the substrate, along with any
other area that will be in contact with the silicone.
4. If using an installation kit, prior to applying the
silicone adhesive, apply the butyl tape abut 2”
from the edge, around the perimeter of the panel.
5. Apply the silicone adhesive, about 1” from the
edge, around the perimeter of the panel. Place
quarter sized dots of silicone adhesive every 8-10
inches apart over the surface of the panel.
If Accessories are being used, on the wall, place a
bead of silicone around the cut out location.
6. Place the panel on the 1/16” shims, line up any
holes, and rmly press the panel in place.
7. If using a hot melt glue gun, apply the silicone as
stated in steps 4 & 5, apply hot melt along the
back edge of the panel of Transolid where it will
be attached to the substrate and press the panel
rmly into place. The hot melt will hold the panel
until the silicone sets up.
8. For Ceilings: Use a T-brace to hold the ceiling
panel in place for a minimum of 12 hours.
