Swanstone WW-6000 - Installation - Manual (Page 15)

Any cutout should have rounded corners (sharp corners
can promote stress cracks).
4. Cut clearance holes using a router, saber saw, or
hole saw. Drill or cut holes 1/2 inch larger than the
diameter of the plumbing outlets from the finished
side of the panel. For best results, place a scrap of
wood beneath the hole to ensure a clean cut.
5. Trial fit the panel, and make any necessary
adjustments.
Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone and
solvents used by the installer can be
harmful if used in an unventilated room.
Always work in a well-ventilated area. To keep the area
well-ventilated, open windows and use exhaust fans. If
adequate ventilation is not achievable or practical, use
respiratory protective equipment.
6. Clean the back of the panel with denatured alcohol.
Do not use oil-based cleaners, such as mineral spirits, to
clean the panels. The oil in the cleaner will prevent the
panel from properly adhering to the wall.
7. Apply the silicone in 1-1/4 inch diameter dots every
8 to 10 inches over the back surface of the panel.
Follow the silicone manufacturer’s instructions and
note all ventilation and installation precautions.
