nto the crev
i
ce.
R
emove the tape for an
a
i
rt
i
ght seal and a stra
i
ght edge.
17. Prepare the area to be caulked
T
o produce an a
i
rt
i
ght seal between the
wall and the cab
i
net, you’ll need to
caulk around the f
i
ller p
i
eces. Choose a
well made late
x
brand (
i
t doesn’t need
to be waterproof.) Tape alongs
i
de the
area to be caulked. Apply a bead of
caulk
i
nto the crev
i
ce.
15. Install filler pieces
Put the f
i
ller p
i
ece
i
n place w
i
th the cut
edge aga
i
nst the wall. Attach by dr
i
ll
i
ng
a screw through the predr
i
lled holes
from the
i
ns
i
de of the cab
i
net. Install
other f
i
ller p
i
eces
i
n the same way.
When you’ve f
i
n
i
shed
i
nstall
i
ng all
f
i
ller p
i
eces, go to p
i
cture 17.
Cut the template mater
i
al so that
i
t’s
the same he
i
ght as the cab
i
net. Hold
i
t
i
n place where the f
i
ller w
i
ll be
i
nstalled. Open the compass a couple of
i
nches and place the po
i
nt aga
i
nst the
wall. Hold
i
ng the compass hor
i
zontal
and level, follow the l
i
ne of the wall so
that the penc
i
l traces a clear l
i
ne on the
template. To cut the template to the cor-
rect w
i
dth, measure the d
i
stance from
the farthest po
i
nt on the wall to the cab-
i
net. F
i
nd the same po
i
nt on the tem-
plate and mark
i
t. Draw a stra
i
ght l
i
ne
from th
i
s po
i
nt to the top and bottom of
the template to form the flat edge that
w
i
ll f
i
t aga
i
nst the cab
i
net. Cut the tem-
plate and check that
i
t f
i
ts, then trace
the shape onto the fller and follow the
cutt
i
ng d
i
rect
i
ons
i
n p
i
cture 14.
16. If the wall is uneven
If the w
all
i
s not level and flat, the f
i
ller
must be cut to conform to the wall’s
shape. To do th
i
s, you’ll need to make a
template for trac
i
ng the wall’s shape
onto the f
i
ller. A p
i
ece of th
i
n plywood or
heavy cardboard makes a su
i
table tem-
plate. You’ll also need a measur
i
ng tape,
penc
i
l and compass.
