Caulk the mantel to the wall all the way around, using a caulk
that matches your mantel color. This will eliminate any remain-
ing gap between mantel and wall.
11.
Cut scribe to
fit stone.
If using a hearth that fits between the leg opening, cut the scribe
to allow for stone height between the legs. Place the scribe molding
as shown above, positioning it so that it just contacts the non-
combustible surround. Be careful not to hit the facing material
when nailing the scribe in place. No cutting is needed if hearth
exceeds mantel legs.
CAUTION: ALDER IS A HARD WOOD AND PRONE TO
SPLITTING. IF THIS MANTEL IS MADE FROM ALDER
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PREDRILL 1/16” HOLES ON
THE INSIDE SCRIBE PIECES PRIOR TO ATTACHING
THEM TO THE MANTEL TO AVOID SPLITTING.
Attach the scribe, making sure it is pushed back against noncom-
bustible facing. Nail with 4D finishing nails (provided), breast board
first. Be careful not to hit the stone as you nail the scribe in place.
Protect the stone with a piece of corrugated cardboard held or
taped between stone and hammer as you nail.
YOUR INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
