Before Corbels Installation

General Corbels Installation

Lay the corbels face down on a surface that will not mar the product face, such as a clean cloth.

Apply a 1/2" continuous bead of adhesive/caulk along the back edge of the corbels (A).

Gently press corbels into place.

Apply caulk to corbels edges and smooth excess caulk with you finger or putty knife, giving the appearance of corbel being part of the wall (B). With a damp sponge wipe any excess adhesive/caulk from edges.

Option: You may want to tack or secure corbels into place using finishing nails. If you want to remove nails after adhesive/caulk dries, leave approximately 1/2" nail exposed for easy removal.

Tip: Nail components in ornamentation areas of corbels into wall. When adhesive/caulk dries (approx. 2-3 hours) either remove finishing nails or use nail set to countersink nails, making sure that nails penetrate wall at least 1/2" to 3/4".

Fill nail holes with adhesive/caulk - smooth the surface with your finger or putty knife. once caulk is dry and if needed lightly sand any rough spots on corbels with extra fine sandpaper.

Touch up corbels with paint as needed.
