Installation Guide

Once the panel is clean and cut exactly to your specied

dimensions, lay the panel face down on the plastic

provided. Run a bead of Loctite 5570 around the outside

perimeter of the panel about ½” inside the outside edges

(see picture 3). One tube of 5570 will do four panels.

Next take the Loctite 3370 (big tube), cut 2” off the

nozzle with a razor knife. Apply the red Snoozle (see

picture 3a) prior to inserting the cartridge into the large

caulk gun. Start applying the 3370 ½” from the 5570

bead with 1 ½” between each strip (see 3b). DO NOT

FORCE THE 5570 OUT OF THE SNOOZLE. Use

nesse, and allow the polyurethane to ow through the

holes. It will take one tube of 5570 per panel to ensure

proper bond.

When applying the panel to the shower wall, make

sure the panel is being installed in the proper direc-

tion. Start with the bottom edge adjacent to the tub

or pan, and press the panel upward making sure

the panel is level with the plum line (see picture

4). Prior to tightly securing the panel against the

wall, make sure the panel is where you want it.

Use the recommended roller(s) to compress the

adhesive against the wall (see picture 4a). It’s very

important that you do this step properly. Do not ap-

ply too much pressure, just enough to achieve an

even bond and to ll the peaks that may be in your

panel.

The Brick design/pattern is ideal for large showers or when you’re creating a staggered look with

the SoterraSlate panel. Use the 49”straight 1/8” spacer as your grout line guide. Make sure all

grout joints are clean and that no 5570 has dried in the joint. We recommend that someone

assist you in holding the panels in place as you set the panels with the spacer bar. The spacer

bar can clip onto the panel when making horizontal lines.

Make sure you use CEG Epoxy Grout to ll the joints; see the SoterraSlate color chart to

choose the correct CEG color to coordinate with our panels.
