Marlite adhesive application of thinner wall panels

When thinner panels are called for (1/4” thick), often for columns and renovations, Marlite’s simple application method involves horizontal mainrunners and vertical cross runners attached to the subwall – with the panels applied using adhesive. C-702 Marlite Premium Adhesive required (available in 29 oz. cartridges).
