| 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 | | ||||||||
 | |||||||||
| Historic Mantels are factory treated with a clear water-based sealer and do not | |||||||||
| require additional surface treatment | |||||||||
| Step 4 –Cleaning | |||||||||
| Clean mantel with a damp cloth as needed. Do Not wet the mantel. Water marks may appear if the cloth is wet. | |||||||||
