Installation notes
i) Ensure plaster key mounting surface
and under side of lintel is clean, dry
and free from grease and dirt.
ii) Locate plaster key centrally over
lintel (refer to illustration above to
determine the position on lintel).
iii) Apply a 6mm bead of adhesive along
the full length of plaster key in
accordance with adhesive
manufactureres instructions.
iv) Locate the plaster key against the
toe of the lintel at the position
previously determined and rotate
onto lintel, apply downward pressure
to ensure full adhesive contact to
both surfaces.
v) Pull surfaces apart to allow adhesive
to dry for 10-15 minutes.
vi) Reposition the plaster key onto the
