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. |
