We recommend a urethane-based adhesive that maintains its flexibility for 
the correct installation of our products. For shutters: a continuous bead of 
adhesive/sealant should be applied around the backing of the piece and cross
hatched every 6" -8" inches in between. All other Nesco items should have 
adhesive/sealant applied inside or on back of item where it will be attached 
to other materials. These adhesives should also be used in combination with 
mechanical fasteners. Fasteners should be coarse thread deck or coated dry-
wall screws of sufficient length to penetrate the stucco and the backing by at
least 1"inch. They should be installed at an upward angle of about 15 degrees 
and covered over with adhesive to seal the hole in the stucco to prevent 
moisture penetration. 

Adhere urethane-to-urethane joints (as in split columns) with two-part epoxy 
(3M #2216 or equal) following that product's application instructions. Primer 
and sealer should be removed where the glue/epoxy will be applied to ensure
proper adhesion. 

If you choose: screw holes and joints can be filled with bondo, sanded (if smooth 
finish) and sealed.  Do not apply bondo over any painted surface as it will not 
stick and will cause blistering and paint failure. Un-sanded bondo will also cause 
paint blistering.

Always use mechanical fasteners-never just use adhesive alone-to install Nesco 
products. Also, be sure that all screws are in solid structural material-not just the 
stucco and foam coatings!!
