A 2 side legs |

Step 1- 2 side legs Installation | |||||||||
Determine and mark the position of the leg height required. Cut the bottom of the | |||||||||
leg to the require height. We recommend using a small angle grinder with concrete | |||||||||
blade. Mark sure the legs are level. Use shims to level the mantel legs if required. | |||||||||
Drill a hole at the top of the mantel leg as marked with a concrete bit. Hole may already | | ||||||||
be drilled. Apply construction adhesive (we recommend PL Premium) to the back of | |||||||||
the mantel legs. Screw the legs into the wall | |||||||||
Step 2 - Install the mantel header | |||||||||
Determine and mark the position of the mantel header as required. Cut the header to the require length so it fits | |||||||||
exactly between the two mantel legs. | |||||||||
Apply adhesive to the back surface of the mantel header and inside top of leg. Use bracing to secure the mantel | |||||||||
header tight to the wall until the adhesive sets. | |||||||||
Step 3 -Finishing | |||||||||
Fill any gaps around the mantel with the cement provided. NOTE the cement provided dries in less then 20 minutes. | |||||||||
Add colored water and apply promptly. Color the water by mixing it with any dark color BROWN COLD tea. | |||||||||
*mix only a small amount of cement as needed as it dries in 20 min | | ||||||||
