10. Complete the Finished Deck

If you have not already done so, carefully remove the protective tape from the whirlpool rim.
Cover the framing with water-resistant deck material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim edge and
the water-resistant deck material with silicone sealant.
Tape and mud the water-resistant deck material. Install the finished deck to the water-resistant deck
material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim and the finished deck material with silicone sealant.
Install the faucet trim according to the trim manufacturer's instructions.

11. Clean-Up After Installation

When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the
whirlpool surface. Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface.
Remove stubborn stains, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners containing
petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any whirlpool surfaces for long periods of time. Remove
plaster by carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other metal
tools. Use a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to any residual
plaster.
