Attach spans of Light Rail with screws placed within 3” of an outside corner and at least one screw within 3” of
a joint where two cabinets stitch together.
If a span between these screws exceeds 18”, place additional screws within the span in equal intervals so that these
attachment screws are never further than 18” apart.
Field Tip:
When working with molding,
always account for the longest
pieces before making any cuts,
especially if you will be cutting
and installing a shorter piece
fi rst.
Look for blemishes, end checks
and anything else that will ren-
der a length of molding unus-
able and utilize this information
in your assessment.
1.3
If using a profi le that requires an overhang to the front, it is helpful
to install the end return piece fi rst with the proper overhang to the front.
This will provide a point to measure and align to while cutting and placing
the longer span.

Understanding what your needs
are for particular lengths of
moldings will help you minimize
the need for splices and delays.
