7. Layout the SquidGee Dry System
Place full main sections end-to-end along the wall between the corners marked on the floor. Use tin snips or hack saw to cut main sections as needed. Lay out the SquidGee Dry system just as it will be permanently installed. |
8. Applying SquidGee SealOnce
It’s very important that you do this step properly. Turn a Main section over and apply a heavy bead of SquidGee SealOnce to the bottom. Turn Main section back over and set in place... Press gently! |
9. Prep By Sanding Surface
You will get a much better bond if you use a coarse sandpaper to rough up any vinyl to vinyl surfaces. Do this to both sides of the joining baseboards and the Butt-Joint. |
10. Applying Butt-Joints
Apply SquidGee SealOnce on both sides of the seam. Hook the Butt-Joint at the bottom and snap in place at the top. It’s ok if a Butt-Joint will not snap in place. The floor may not be level or baseboards may not line up. |
11. Seal Edges of Butt-Joints
Sealing the edges of the Butt-Joints and caulking the bottom will insure there are no leaks. |
12. Installing an End Cap
Apply SquidGee SealOnce across the bottom and up the wall and down the edge of the baseboard. Set end cap in place and caulk all joining surfaces again. |
