  • Trim The Board: Then they need to change the blade of the rotatory tool and then trim the backer board as per the outline marks. The users can also trim the backer board by folding it as per the pencil marks and then trim it accordingly by using the utility knife.
  • Place The Board: Then they need to place the trimmed backer board piece directly into the cabinet beneath the sink and then affix the backer board piece strongly with the braces of the floor by using the drywall screws and the screwdriver in order to twist down the screws.
  • Use The Caulk: Finally the users need to run the bathroom caulk bead in between the backer board corner and the cabinet. Then they need to wrap up each screw by using the caulk respectively.
