  2. Ensure that the temperature of the molding is approximately 29-32°C (85-90°F).

    Important:  Do not touch the adhesive backing of the molding.

  3. Remove the protective liner from the back of the molding.
  4. Position the molding to the location marks and press the molding to the mounting surface.
