* Sylvan’s Reveals are made of high-quality materials which are fastened to the casting surface with approved glues, double-sided tape, and/or nylon nail-ins. For plywood or lumber forms, staple guns or finish nails are generally acceptable. Depending on the casting method, results can often be enhanced with silicon edge sealants to reduce spalling, except for Plasti-Flex™ which generally does not require it.
