4. After the silicone has set, measure from the
inside
edge of the first profile to the end of the panel and cut
two additional sections of profile to that length. Consult
the Panel A diagrams and the dashed lines below to
measure and position the profile.
Measure from the inside edge to the end of the panel.
5. Apply a thin film of silicone on each side of the panel
and slide a section of profile onto the panel as shown
below.
ATTENTION:
Do not plug the panel cell holes with
silicone! Cells must remain open for proper venting.
6. With the profile pressed onto the panel, use your finger
to spread the silicone along the edge of the profile
to seal the area if needed. See the dashed line in
the photo on the next page. Remove excess silicone
before it dries.
7. Carefully rotate the panel and repeat the steps to apply
silicone and to install the next section of profile for the
panel.
When installed correctly, the profile will appear as
shown below for Panel A.
Assemble Panel B
The steps to install the profile on Panel B are slightly
different from those of the Panel A. Consult the Panel B
diagrams for additional information.
1. Take the polycarbonate for Panel B and first install the
profile along the edges of the panel that run parallel
with the cells in the polycarbonate panel.
NOTE:
Verify that the UV-protected side is in the
correct position when installing the profile. Apply
silicone and attach the profile as described in Step 1 of
the previous procedure.
NOTE:
Consult the panel diagrams when installing
the profile to ensure that the UV-protected side of the
polycarbonate panel is installed toward the sun.
For
Panel A
, the above photo shows the top of
the panel and the UV-protected surface of the
polycarbonate.
For
Panel B
, the photo shows the underside of the
panel. Consult the Panel B diagrams for additional
information.
8. Allow the silicone to set and continue by assembling
Panel B.
