IMPORTANT: If you are painting an unfinished mantel, apply an oil base
undercoat to the mantel before painting. This will seal the wood. After
undercoat dries completely, lightly sand and apply an oil base top coat. If
you do not apply an oil base undercoat and topcoat, the wood grain will
bleed through the paint.
Note: Place all mantel pieces together before actually assembling mantel.
WARNING: Only use 1
1
/4" screws to assemble
header and top. Damage to the mantel will result if the
longer screws provided are used for this purpose.
