IMportant: To avoid cracking the board, pre-drill
holes prior to securing to unit/framing.
2. Wipe any debris or dust from the noncombustible board
and drywall.
3. It is highly recommended to prime the facing using a
quality primer prior to taping and mudding. This will
ensure proper adhesion of both the tape and mud. The
supplied board is very porous.

5. Mud seams as normal. We recommend using a product
called Durabond high strength compound for the first
coat. This product can be purchased at any hardware
store. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for
curing the mud.
note: Depending upon the final finishing method, use a
minimum rated 300 degree sealant, drywall compound
or thin set to seal the side and top joints.
6. Prime wall for a second time for proper adhesion of
paint.
