    Pre-drilled pilot holes are recommended for the size screw used. If nailing, use spiral or

    (Note: Nailing or screwing into edge grain may result in lower screw holding power due
    to fewer cross-layers being engaged.)

    Finishing:
    Kirei Board panels can be filled, sealed, painted, stained or varnished with most
    commercial finishing materials including short and medium oil length primers, fillers,
    lacquers, and synthetic base coats and topcoats and high temperature bake and acrylic
    and epoxy systems. The panels should be at stable room temperature (70 degrees F
    and higher) when coated. Kirei recommends Low-VOC emission finishes.
