STEP 1: PREPARE THE DOOR
Protect the underside of the door by laying it flat on padded sawhorses or another padded surface. Position the door
with the exterior side facing up. Thoroughly clean the door surface and the dentil shelf with isopropyl alcohol. Surface
must be completely dry before going on to Step 2.
STEP 2: LOCATE SHELF
Position the dentil shelf on the door so that it is centered along the width of the door and parallel to the glass opening
(suggested location is 3/8” from the bottom of the glass). With a graphite pencil, lightly mark the locations of the top
and sides of the shelf on the door face.
STEP 3: APPLY ADHESIVE
Open adhesive cartridge apply a single 1/4” diameter bead of adhesive to the center of the wood core on the
underside of the shelf. Be careful not to allow adhesive beyond the wood to help prevent squeeze-out. Carefully press
the shelf onto the door face using your pencil lines (from Step 2) as your locating guides. Apply firm pressure to ensure
contact with door. You will have approximately 30 minutes to work with the shelf before the adhesive starts to set.
Immediately remove any adhesive squeeze-out with mineral spirits and a clean cloth.
STEP 4: CURE TIME
The shelf and door should remain in the horizontal position for a minimum of twenty four (24) hours to allow the
adhesive to cure. After this time, the door can be finished and installed.
