I squeezed out a line on each plastic side, aligned the bottom to the bottom of the board so it was canted about 45 degrees away from the foam boards, and then pushed it so it was 90 degrees and flush with the foam boards. This ensures that excess liquid nail goop is pushed out the top seam where it can be easily wiped away.<br /><br />Hope this helps!

You should note I discovered that I had to use double width sheeting on the short ends so I could change up the positions and keep everything tight. One of my later posts discusses this issue.<br /><br />Good luck!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300726634407646984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627201667298914772.post-21497541001698123942017-06-05T05:46:54.327-04:002017-06-05T05:46:54.327-04:00That white strips are made of plastic or foam like...That white strips are made of plastic or foam like that pink board?
