1. When assembling two (2) assembled laminated sheets to each other, apply a strip of caulk (A) near
the outside edge of the outer sheet, between the outer two (2) rows of bolts and outside the last row
of bolts.
(See Figure 5C on Page 34 and Figure 5D on Page 35.)
2. Place a strip of caulk (B) 12" (30.4 cm) long to each the horizontal seams. (See Figure 5F.)
NOTE: Before bolting the next ring into place, apply a strip of caulk 12" (30.4 cm) long on the front
of the under lapped sheet at each joint.
3. Also, a 12" (30.4 cm) strip of caulk is to be placed along the lower horizontal edge of the lapping
sheet at the vertical seam. This will fill the space that occurs between the holes caused by the
overlapping sheets.
When assembling two (2) sheets to make a laminated sheet assembly (C), apply a row of caulk all around
the vertical seam.
(See Figure 5F.)
Use the supplied tube caulk to fill the larger gaps that occur with heavier gauges and laminated sheets.
