Fibre-Crown
Manufacturing Inc. details are manufactured using EPS, Fibre-Mesh
and Fibre-Crete. The
Fibre-Mesh is to be folded back 180 degrees to sit flat against
substrate. If you
are not using mesh to tie into scratch coat, cut and remove
mesh,
exposing only the EPS for attachment.

Using a 3/8
notched trowel apply approved cementitious compound or adhesive
to the surface that will be in contact with the substrate. Also apply a thin coat to the contact surface or (substrate).
To ensure maximum bonding while the adhesive is wet, apply
pressure on the entire length of the molding moving back &
forth with a lateral motion.
Immediately remove extra adhesive and wipe clean with a
damp cloth.

sets. For example:
clamps, galvanized nails, screws and washers.

Fibre-Mesh is
to be applied 3” past each side of joint.
