Traditional Plinth
Blocks
have straight edges. Due to the curved sides at
the top of the base blocks, it's position will
effect the placement and reveal of the case molding.
That reveal will be about 3/8".
The top of the Base
block will be flush with the door jamb.
Adhere the Plinth blocks with construction adhesive, and
pin or clamp in place. Discurage nailing in place.
Any nailing will need a pre drilled hole
and filled afterwords. The area indicated with
the arrow may need some fill behind the door jamb. Bondo
works well prior to installing the blocks or calk as
needed. Any skilled finish carpenter will have no problems
with installation.
Position the base blocks
and adhere. Hold the case blocks in position and draw a line
to determine measurement of case molding needed.
Cut case molding and install. Adhere case blocks in position.
Repeat for other side. Measure distance
between Case blocks and cut and install top case
molding. Untill the adheseive harders , you can make
slight adjustmens to the base and case blocks position.
Should the blocks need
any repairs, use FGRC,(provided with purchase)water,
and a little white glue mixture. Only mix what
you can use in about 10 minutes, as it will harden and
can not be solidified again.
