The simplicity of Do-It Yourself installation is
the feature. No need of Hammer, Nails or
finding wall studs as with usual type Moldings.

CeilingMate simply glues in place with most any construction adhesive. Always overestimate the amount of material required. Add 8" to 12" for each corner and to compensate possible cutting error. Molding is supplied in 4’ lengths. Shipping
damage is easily correct at the time of installation
with Polyinstafil equivalent.

1. Tape Measure.

2. Pencil/Ball point pen.

3. Hand Saw. – Any reasonably sharp fine toothed saw will do.

4. Angle Square or Mitre Box – If you’re somewhat adept with a hand saw you’ll be able to use the 45 degree angle of the angle square. Otherwise use an oversize mitre box or anything that’ll help make an approximate 45 degree angle cut. Anyone with an inexpensive compound mitre saw can easily construct a suitable large mitre box. You needn’t be exact.

5. Sliding T-Bevel - for calculating obtuse angles if you have any.

6. Putty Knife – About 1-1/2" width for smoothing joint filler.

7. Masking Tape – 2" wide green painters tape is preferable.

8. Sanding Block or folded sheet of coarse sand paper.

9. Nylon Paint Brush – Any inexpensive 4" or 5" paint brush will be satisfactory.

10. 3" Texture Paint Roller – If you can’t find a 3" roller you can use one end of a
conventional 9" roller. Select a soft cellulose composition type roller, usually in blue, green or purple for light texture. For heavy texture, choose a yellow coarse loose looped roller.

11. Caulking Gun – 300 ml tube size.

12. Adhesive – Three 300 ml tubes will complete a 12’ sq. room. Many general purpose
and construction adhesives are compatible with polystyrene. e.g. LePage PL300, DAP Panel & Foam, or Macco Liquid Nails. All have been proven effective.
For larger mouldings and difficult applications, LePage No More Nails Super Strength or Loctite Foamboard and Ceiling Tile Adhesive may be more effective. These seem stronger, set up more quickly and you’ll probably need less adhesive.

13. Caulking – White Latex or Acrylic Latex
– 1 – 300 ml tube, should be sufficientfor all joints in a 12’ room.

14. Joint and Crack Filler – Polyinstafil, Dap Dry Dex or equivalent
– 250ml should be sufficient for a 12’ sq. room.

15. Roll-On Texture Paint - 4L is adequate for 2 rooms e.g. King, Behr, Home Hardware, LePage, etc.
