How to use Plastic Shims

1. Identify the area where the shims will be used.
2. Measure the width of the gap or distance that the surface needs to be adjusted.
3. Based on Step 2, select a plastic shim that is slightly larger than the gap or adjustment needed.
4. Insert the shim into the gap or place it under the surface that needs adjusting.
5. Use a hammer to gently tap the shim into place until it's flush with the surrounding surfaces.
6. Break off any excess shims based on the depth of the gap.

Repeat the process as needed until the gap is filled or the surface is level.

If necessary, use a caulking or sealant to seal around the shim to prevent drafts or water infiltration.

Note: Plastic shims are suitable for interior use only, and should not be used in exterior or load-bearing applications.
