b. If the wall corner is not exactly 90 degrees
square, it will be necessary to sand the sides of
the seat in order to achieve a proper fit. Use a
coarse grit (60 grit) sandpaper when sanding the
seat.
Do not use oil-based cleaners, such as mineral spirits, to
clean the Swanstone product. The oil in the cleaner will
prevent the silicone from adhering properly to the wall.
8. Once the seat fits properly, clean the edges of the
seat, 12 mounting tabs, and the shower wall area
above the stainless steel bracket with denatured
alcohol. Apply clear silicone adhesive (supplied) to
the top of the 12 mounting tabs on the underside of
the seat and on the two side edges, as shown.
9. Set the shower seat into place.
a. Make sure the locking tabs molded into the
underside of the seat engage behind the
stainless steel support bracket.
b. Apply a continuous bead of silicone around the
outer perimeter of the shower seat to completely
seal the joint.
c. Use denatured alcohol to clean any excess
silicone from the wall or seat surface.
NOTE: To aid in the bonding process, place a folded
towel or piece of cardboard on the shower seat to
protect it and set a weight, such as a full one gallon
paint can onto the shower seat.
10. Allow 24 hours for the silicone to set. Do not use the
shower during this period.
11. Give these installation instructions to the
homeowner, for future reference. They provide
important information on cleaning, maintenance, and
surface repair of Swanstone wall systems, corner
seats, and accessories.
