Page 12: Finishing Instructions
FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS Allow hot mud to set slightly before applying mesh tape. NOTE: Drywall finishes can range in various levels of smoothness. For invisible speaker installations, we recommend at least a level four finish where drywall seams are all feathered out and sanded. For best results, we recommend a level five finish where the entire wall plane is skim-coated and sanded for smooth consistency. - Page 13 6. Allow hot mud to fully cure and harden. Feather all surfaces around the joints and up to the raised portion of the speaker diaphragm. Once hot mud has fully cured, cover joints with slow-setting compound. 9. Allow first coat to fully cure. This can take 12–24 hours.
