തയ്യാറാക്കൽ:

• Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and free of debris.
• Gather necessary tools: construction adhesive (e.g., Loctite Power Grab), brad nailer, measuring tape, pencil, and safety glasses.
• Measure your room and mark locations for moulding and corners.

Installation Steps for MiterLink Outside Corner:

1. Apply a bead of construction adhesive to the back of the MiterLink outside corner piece.
2. Place the corner on the desired installation location and firmly press into place.
3. Apply adhesive to the ends of the moulding pieces that will connect to the corner.
4. Position the moulding pieces so they overlap the MiterLink corner by approximately 1 inch. The moulding piece will tuck behind the overlap of the corner.
5. Secure the MiterLink outside corner and connecting moulding pieces to the wall and ceiling using a brad nailer. Note: Nail holes on stain grade molding should not be caulked. Use of brad nails is at customer discretion.
6. Repeat the process until all moulding is installed.

4. പരിപാലനം

Maintaining your Americraft wood moulding is straightforward:

• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp നേരിയ സോപ്പും വെള്ളവും ഉപയോഗിച്ച് തുണിയിൽ പൊതിഞ്ഞ് ഉടൻ ഉണക്കുക. ഉരച്ചിലുകളുള്ള ക്ലീനറുകളോ കഠിനമായ രാസവസ്തുക്കളോ ഒഴിവാക്കുക.
• Repainting/Restaining: If the finish becomes worn or you wish to change the color, lightly sand the surface, clean thoroughly, and apply new paint or stain according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Damage Repair: Minor dents or scratches can often be filled with wood putty, sanded smooth, and then repainted or restained.

5. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

Here are solutions to common issues that may arise during or after installation:

• Gaps after Installation: Small gaps between the moulding and the wall/ceiling can be filled with paintable caulk. For larger gaps, ensure the surface is flat and consider shimming before re-installation.
• Poor Paint Adhesion: Ensure the primed surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before painting. Use a high-quality primer if the existing primer is compromised.
• Moulding Not Holding Firmly: Verify that sufficient adhesive was used and that brad nails are properly securing the moulding into studs or solid backing. If not, add more adhesive and/or nails.
• Imprecise Cuts: The MiterLink system is designed to minimize the impact of imperfect miter cuts by allowing an overlap. If cuts are still visible, ensure the overlap is correctly utilized.
