where it doesn't belong.

Installation
- Fasten the base clip to
the casting surface with fasteners, tape or adhesive.
- Press one end of the bulkhead
interlocking tooth grip into the end of the base clip.
- Press the entire length
of the bulkhead into the base clip.
- Check to insure that the
interlocking grips are fully engaged and the chamfer seal is pressed
firmly against the casting surface.
- Using a 1" board, apply
pressure down over the PVC bulkhead, working from one end to the other
until it locks into position. This creates a tight friction fit with
the wood, preventing it from rising during the pour No nailing is necessary.

is necessary

clips are available in 12 foot lengths for the reuse of these products

Storage
If reuse is intended, it is important that all concrete residual be removed
from the plastic to prevent sticking on future pours. Materials should
be stored out of direct sunlight to prevent long-term deterioration or
color fading. Pieces can be stacked, but should be stored fully supported
to keep them from warping.
