3. Place the wall panel, finished side facing up, on a flat
surface. Place pieces of masking tape over the area where
the saw contacts the Swanstone panel.
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the Swanstone
product, use a dust collection method which
prevents dust particles from going into the air. Always
work in a well-ventilated area. To keep the area well-
ventilated, open windows and use exhaust fans. Always
use an OSHA approved dust mask when cutting, drilling, or
sanding Swanstone products.
4. Cut the panel using a circular saw with a 60-80 tooth
carbide blade or a saber saw with a bi-metal blade (14
teeth per inch).
5. Dry fit the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
Panel Installation
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.
1. Clean the backs of each panel with denatured alcohol or
another non oil-based cleaning solvent.
Do not use oil-based cleaners, such as mineral spirits, to
clean the panels. The oil in the cleaner will prevent the panel
from adhering properly to the wall.
2. Apply the silicone in 1-1/4” diameter dots every 8 to 10
inches apart over the surface of the panel. Follow the
silicone manufacturer’s instructions and note all ventilation
and installation precautions.
Note: When using an industrial grade hot melt glue gun in
place of bracing, apply the silicone as stated in Step 2.
Then apply the hot melt glue to the panel, as needed,
and quickly press the panel firmly into place. Also refer
to the WARNING on the next page for hot melt glue
applications.
