the pieces on edge so that the long joint is vertical (Fig 1).
Apply tape across the joint with the back piece outside,
over the edge of the floor/ceiling piece and flush along
the edge. Tape the next joint like the first, back piece
outside over the edge of the floor/ceiling piece.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Identify and inspect all parts using the Parts List.
• Thoroughly read the directions before starting.
• Set up a dedicated work area to avoid the need to unpack,
repack, or move the project frequently.
• Use a clean, level, and dry work surface protected from glue spills.
• Dry fit the parts using masking tape to ensure everything aligns
correctly before permanent assembly.
Tips:
•
The kit is made of 3.6 mm luan plywood, and is sturdy
and lightweight when assembled. The thin panels may
sometimes seem slightly warped when the package is
opened, but that is easily corrected during assembly
and will not affect the completed kit.
•
100 grit sandpaper will help smooth edges and
reduce splintering, but finer grades (220 or above)
are needed for a smoother surface. Be careful not to
round off the panel edges before assembly. Use wood
filler for any voids in the panel surfaces. For finishing,
high quality semi-gloss paint is recommended.
•
The die-cut window and door openings do not have
to be used; the cutout pieces may be left in place and
concealed by finishing materials (wallpaper, etc.).
The cutting grooves may be filled in with wood putty
for better appearance, if needed. Either side of the
panels may be used, to allow alternate placement
of the door and window openings.
•
Punch out the openings you want to use and check
that your window and door units will fit properly.
Adjust openings as necessary, allowing for thickness
of floor at door opening.
