Apply Adhesive and Install Cap Pieces
At 0:15 in
Such a gorgeous unit.
What happens here
After the internal metal strips are properly positioned, the next phase involves the installation of the top cap pieces. Although the direct application of adhesive and placement of every cap piece isn't fully shown, a caulk gun loaded with "Rapid-Seal Polyurethane" adhesive is clearly visible on the finished surface, indicating its use in securing the pieces. The objective is to apply the adhesive to the underlying structure and then meticulously place the pre-fabricated concrete or stone cap pieces around the installed metal strips. These cap pieces create the finished, aesthetic, and protective top surface of the fireplace, completing its construction.
Goal: Install and adhere the concrete or stone cap pieces to finish the fireplace top.
