1. Examine goods to assure quantity and quality are as ordered.

Lay out all the work to be completed, including all parts, along

the base of the wall. The parts will include those supplied by

and those the installer must supply. Walltalkers

supplies the wood trim and tray in the quantities ordered. The

installer must supply the mounting hardware, wood filler, and

touch-up finish. All trim should be installed with condition

appropriate hardware 16" on center, as shown in Diagram A.

The tray should be mounted to the trim 16" on center, slightly

offset from the trim hardware locations.

2. Determine the location of the trim on the wall. Mark the inside

dimensions on the wall with something that will not permanently

damage that surface. (Ex. If the material being framed is a

walltalkers dry erase surface, use a dry erase marker to make

the level and plumb lines.) Install the dry erase material and then

overlap the edges with the trim. Overlapping will ensure a good

edge appearance on the writing surface.

3. Using the wall measurements, measure, mark, and cut the wood

trim pieces to size. Use a miter saw to cut the corners at 45°

angles, see Diagram B. Assure the trim pieces are square prior

to gluing and mechanically fastening to the wall.

4. For walls with wood backing or wood studs, install the bottom

horizontal trim piece with construction adhesive and #10 X 2"

flat head wood screws. Mark holes at each stud or 16" on center

with solid wood backing, and approximately 1/4" up from the

lower edge of the trim, as shown in Diagram A. Predrill, using a

1/8" bit, through the trim at every mark. Use a counter-sink bit to

make a slight indentation at each screw hole; the counter-sink hole

will conceal the screw head. Apply construction adhesive to the

back of the trim piece and apply to the substrate at the specified

location. Now, put in screws. The screws must make contact with

wall studding or wood backing to properly support the marker tray.

For installations on cement, block, or other dense substrate, use

construction hardware (i.e. masonry anchors, self-tapping screws,

etc.). The top and vertical pieces are decorative wood trim; install

with construction adhesive. The construction adhesive will allow for

slight adjustment of pieces for a proper fit. Finish nails may be used

to hold the trim in place as the adhesive cures. After adhesive has

cured, counter-sink or remove the nails and patch the hole with a

wood filler of similar color. If no tray is specified, install the lower

trim piece in the same manner as the other pieces.

5. Most installations will require a full length marker tray, terminating

at the outside edges of the dry erase material. Outside edges of the

tray can be finished on site in a number of ways. The edges can be

left as a blunt end, mitered to a 45° angle, etc. Terminations should

then be finished with a similar stain and clear coated with a satin

urethane finish.

6. Install the tray with #10 X 1" wood screws, as shown in Diagram A.

Like the trim installation, predrill 1/8" holes and use the counter-sink

bit to create small cavities to hide the screw heads. Install wood screws

every 16" on center slightly offset from the trim installation hardware.
