Directions

Step 1

Familiarize yourself with the appropriate panel installation guide. Locate the lip, fingers and slots to determine the installation direction. Figure A

Step 2

Trim one end of the panel to make it straight and square. Figure B

Step 3

Set the saw to a 45 degree angle. With the textured face of the panel facing down, make a 45 degree cut. Retain the strip that was just created. Figure C

Step 4

Flip the panel so that the textured face of the panel is facing up and the cut edge is towards the saw, make a second 45 degree cut as close to the end of the panel as possible. Discard cut piece. Figure D

Step 5

Dry fit the strip that was created by the cut in Step 3 to the end of the panel.

Step 6

Attach the strip to the cut end of the panel using brads and Loctite PL Premium 3X. Figure E

Step 7

Use the fine hand file to blend the panels then conceal the seam with caulk and touch-up paint.
