  1. Clean the front of the dishwasher door and the back of the cabinet door with dish soap. Let dry completely

  2. Lightly sand the front of the dishwasher door and back of the cabinet door. Wipe off any excess sanding debris.

  3. Use the caulking gun with PL400 construction adhesive and spread an even layer on the back side of the cabinet.

  4. Position the cabinet door in place on the dishwasher door.

  5. Hold the cabinet door to dishwasher door with the hand clamps. Let dry for 24 hours.

Tips

Use a small piece of cardboard to help spread the PL400 so your hands do not get dirty.

Warnings

Open a window or turn on a fan when working with PL400 to dissipate any fumes from the adhesive.
