TOP PLATE INSULATION:
1. To ensure proper adhesion, clean the top surfaces of
the top plate so it is clear of oil, dust and moisture.
2. Remove the tape backing from the insulation and
apply following the left edge of the top plate. See
Figure 10.
If you see that the insulation tape it too long and out of
the edge of top plate, cut the extra insulation.

3. Apply the second piece of insulation tape in a similar
manner to the right edge of the top plate. See Figure
11. If you still see exposed width of top plate is wider
than insulation tape, repeat to apply the insulation
tape adjacently to the first or/and second pieces
without gap till the exposed top plate width become
less than an insulation tape.
