Step 19: At the Job Site
The Mold Max™ XLS II silicone rubber pulls away effortlessly and captures perfect detail. The casting comprised of duoMatrix™ NEO and Foam-iT!™ 10 SLOW is structurally lightweight but ultra strong and dimensionally stable. Before the brackets may be installed, excess Foam-iT! 10 SLOW is trimmed off with a grinder to level the surface that will press against the porch ceiling. Trimming the excess expanded foam will help prevent and gaps in between the bracket and the ceiling the bracket is then ready for installation.
The Bracket is held in place using a brace and attached to the ceiling using anchoring screws. Multiple brackets are all cast from a single mold and installing the cast brackets only takes a few minutes. The house now displays an architectural charm that is unique to New Orleans.
