IMPORTANT: If you are staining an unnished mantel (W26TU
only), remove any sawdust, dirt or oils. This will prevent blem-
ishes from appearing under the stain. Stain mantel before
assembling according to manufacturer’s instructions. Apply
sanding sealer.
IMPORTANT: If you are painting an unnished mantel (W26TU
only), assemble mantel before painting. Follow directions
listed on paint for wood products. Apply base coat and top
coat following directions listed on product.
Note: Gather all mantel pieces together before assembling
mantel.
