���� F.� Moldings:
�������� 1.� Trim division bar to accommodate ceiling and base moldings.
�������� 2.� Apply bead of silicone sealant to one side of division bar and install on leading edge of first panel.�
�������� 3.� Push molding all the way onto panel and pull back to allow 1/8-inch clearance.�
�������� 4.� Check plumb.
�������� 5.� Fasten molding with coated lath nails, installed to leading edge of molding, only.
�������� 6.� Complete fastening of panel, and remove excess sealant.
�������� 7.� Apply sealant to leading edge of molding to receive next panel.� Allow 1/8-inch clearance when installing panel.
�������� 8.� Remove excess sealant from panels and moldings.
���� G.� Sealants:� Seal corner seams, ceiling and base junctures, around door frames and other openings, and between penetrating items and panel cut-outs.
