Mantel Installation
- Using a stud finder mark each stud with a pencil.
- Create a level line one inch below where you want the top of the installed mantel.
- Attach the lumber to the wall at the level line by screwing the deck screws through the lumber and into the studs. Use mollies/anchors if there are no studs.
- Apply Loctite PL Premium Advanced 3X Construction Adhesive to the top of the mounted lumber. Slide the mantel over the mounted lumber.
- At the top of the mantel, use the deck screws and toe screw the mantel to the lumber. Recess the screws about 1/8”. Be careful not to over-tighten.
- Apply color complimenting textured caulk to fill screw holes. Blendcaulk into adjacent surfaces while it is still wet. Use paint from the touch-up kit to paint over the caulk
or wood filler. Do not sand the mantel. Sanding will ruin the finish and the grain.’
