NOTE: If you plan to paint existing cabinet boxes,consult your dealer for proper finishing techniques.
End Panels:
• Start by applying the cut-to-size plywood to the cabinet end panels. Apply wood glue to the back of the plywood (F.6), then fit it to end panel, making sure it is flush with the cabinet front and bottom (F.7).
• Use finishing nails to secure (F.8).
• Using sanding block with 150 grit sandpaper, sand the edges of the plywood to ensure that it is flush with cabinet front frame (F.9). Use a clean tack cloth to remove the sanding dust.
NOTE: If you plan to paint existing cabinet boxes, consult your dealer for proper finishing techniques.
• Check entire cabinet for areas where unfinished wood is exposed, such as along the sanded edges of the plywood, and seal with spray adhesive or varnish (F.1 0) .
Self-Adhesive Coverings:
• Cutting with a sharp pair of scissors or razor knife and straight edge, cut the self-adhesive covering into strips 1/2” wider and 2” longer than the face frames you plan to cover
(F.11 & F.12).
NOTE: Complete one opening at a time
• Apply self-adhesive covering to cabinet face frames. DO ONE OPENING AT A TIME. Start with the stiles. Peel back just enough backing from the top of the strip to anchor the strip to the face frame. Make sure the top edge of the strip is flush and square with the top of the stile. Align the strip so that there’s an even overlap on both sides of the stile (F.13). Then press and lightly smooth downward, peeling the backing off as you go. (Be very careful to get it lined up right the first time, because the special adhesive makes it very difficult to get off!)
• Repeat above on other stile.
Rails
• Peel back just enough backing from one end of SAC and position it to overlap the left and right stiles by 1”. Align the strip so that there’s an even overlap on top and bottom of rail. Then press and lightly smooth left to right, peeling the backing off as you go ( F.14).
• Repeat above on other rail.
NOTE: COMPLETE ONE OPENING AT ATIME
• Using a razor knife, trim the overlap excess inside the opening from both stiles and rails. Use the inside of the face frame as a guide (F.15).
• Trim the overlay from the top and bottom of the cabinet ( F.16). Using straight edge, align it flush with the inside of the stile, extending over where the rail butts the stile.
• Use straight edge as a guide and cut all the way through both the stile and rail SAC (F.17). Using the tip of the razor knife, remove the rail excess. Again using the tip of the razor knife, gently raise the SAC off the rail and remove the excess trim from the stile (F.18). Gently smooth the rail SAC back down to the stile. Rail should now be flush with stile. Repeat on other three corners.
Note: Complete one opening at a time
• Using the SAC application or plexiglass scraper, apply as much pressure as possible to the SAC. Go with the grain (F.20).
