Repeat Step 5 to install the remaining vertical panel.

Refer to the Temporary Bracing section for information
on bracing to hold the panels in place until the silicone
adhesive is completely set (usually 24 hours). This will
allow proper curing of the silicone.

After the temporary bracing is removed, refer to the
Caulking section for information on applying color
coordinated caulk to joints and seams.

Temporary Bracing

Install the temporary bracing to hold the wall panels in
place until the silicone adhesive is completely set
(usually 24 hours). This will allow proper curing of the
silicone.

To ensure contact between the panels and walls until the
silicone adhesive sets, install the temporary bracing after
completing installation. The bracing should be
constructed from 1 x 2 inch, 1 x 3 inch, and 2 x 2 inch
lumber. Cut the boards to length so that the braces
wedge against the wall panels and/or each other when
installed. Failure to brace in the manner described could
keep the panels from properly adhering, resulting in
personal injury, as well as water damage or other damage
to floors, walls, or other portions of your building or home.

Place two or more braces against the back wall.
Place two braces on the panels that are 48 inches
or less and three or four braces on the panels used
on back walls greater than 48 inches wide.

Note: If a WTK-1 Window Trim Kit was installed, follow
the temporary bracing guidelines to position the bracing
inside the window opening to secure the sill and vertical
panels in place until the silicone adhesive cures.
