To measure skins for existing
boards: Most boards will not be a full 4' in height or a full 4', 6' or 8'
in width because of the framing materials used in construction of new boards. To
install these skins over existing boards you will want to carefully measure the
inside of your existing frame from the top of the marker tray to the inside of
the frame on the top of the board for your height. Now measure from the inside
of the frame on the left to the inside of your frame on the right for your
length. Take measurements at more than one spot in case the existing board is
not square and use the smallest measurements so that your panel fits correctly.
Installation: Once your new factory pre-cut panels
arrive thoroughly clean the old existing surface and test fit the new panels
before you remove the peel and stick backing. Remove any existing H-Bars on
the existing boards and fill in any holes, etc. Carefully remove the adhesive
backing without allowing any dirt or debris to attach to the back of the
panel... Keep it clean! Next spray a solution of 50/50 solution of water and
alcohol on the surface and on the back of the skin to retard the adhesive just
a little. Align skin and press onto old surface. Start at one edge let surface
make contact while smoothing out any bubbles. Roll over entire area making
sure skin makes complete contact. Peel off protective film from face of skin.
For a finishing touch you may want to apply a small bead of white chalking
material around the outside edge of the board to fill in any small gaps or
rough edges.
Normal lead-time is about 2-3 weeks to ship from the factory and summer
lead-times may be a little longer.
