Part 5: Apply Joint Compound

Note: Skip this section if you have a flangeless millwork installation.
1. Apply skim coat up to the aperture rim using a joint compound. (For flangeless mud-in versions, cover
the flange but not the retainer.) For best results, use a full ceiling float (see fig. 10).

2. Sand and finish the final surface before removing the aperture plug. Clean the internal surfaces of the
trim retainer with a clean rag and isopropyl alcohol.

only the appropriate section below.
1. Applying trim to flangeless mud-in downlight
