Recommendation:
After
careful testing we have found that ICI paints save time
and dry with a smooth finish.
Only
1 coat of Gripper® and
1 coat of topcoat is needed with these paints. Choose
either Glidden® Ultra-Hide® Latex
or Dulux® Advanced
Alkyd.
ask for:
Gripper® Primer/Sealer
(3210) and
Glidden® Ultra-Hide® Latex
semi-gloss enamel paint (1416) or
Ask for your Creative Crown™ national
discount (a discount card will be available

some ICI dealer stores.

Trim the end off each board with a
power miter saw for best seams.
Install Creative Crown™ Molding with LIQUID NAILS® Adhesive.
Use only the
HEAVY DUTY for Constructionand Remodeling type.
Apply adhesive
to the back of the molding. Use Liquid Nails sparingly.
Make dashes
about 1" to 2" long every 3-4 inches.
Never "puddle"
the adhesive on the molding.
Press the molding
to the wall and then pull it back a few inches for about
10-15 seconds. Then press back into place. This activates the
adhesive.
Watch
the alignment of each board for the first 20 minutes
while glue sets. Use
2 or 3 plastic head push pins to keep molding from
drifting down while it sets.
Be sure
to read
instructions
on LIQUID NAILS® tube.
