SECTION 1- INSTALLATION
Cleaning, Caulking
and Capping
Illustrated Method Sheet 122
Step 1 Cleaning
1.1
Clean out the interiors of the cabinet boxes first. Wipe out any dust, debris or
attached dirt. Use a damp cloth to remove any stubborn dirt.
Use acetone to remove any adhesive residue, overspray or any pencil or pen marks
that do not remove easily with just water.
1.2
Use colored wax to
fill any visible nail holes on
the inside of the cabinetry.
Wipe away excess.
Step 2 Caulking
2.1
Caulking can be required both
inside and outside of the cabinet box.
Cleaning, Caulking and
Caping should be per-
formed before replacing
shelves or doors. At this
point the cabinets are still
open, and access to their
insides and backs are
still relatively easy.
On the inside of the box, caulk any
gap larger than 1/16” between cabinet
parts. Only caulk the offending joint
and do not allow any caulking to spill
or smear onto an adjacent joint if it
does not need to be caulked.
Wipe away all excess caulking with a
damp cloth.
