Lumber spline – PBS panels are designed to
accept kiln dried lumber set into a standard
1 1/2” recess along the bottom, top, corners
and window openings of the panels. Simply
cut the plates to length, apply a 3/8” bead of
Premier Mastic between plys of the dimensional
spline and nail dimensional splines together.
Apply a 3/8” bead of Premier Mastic along
the sides and center of the recess, set the
lumber into the recesses and nail off through
the skins with 8d nails 6” o.c. or according
to your shop drawings. The lumber should
remain flush with the edges of OSB. If your
lumber has swelled, it may be necessary
to chamfer and trim the piece so it will fit
properly. Always dry fit the dimensional
lumber before applying Premier Mastic.
