marlite paneling

I am getting ready to install marlite paneling over drywall in our bathroom and I don't have any previous experience with this material. I have plastic strips for the joints (the guy at the hardware store said I needed these), and liquid nails. I am not sure go about installation. Do I nail the strips up and fit it like a puzzle? Help. Thanks Did the salesman tell you about the daisies? These are plastic flowers with screws. They are a fanciful way to enhance the fastening of the marlite. I always predrill the holes so that the screw doesn't walk around and scratch. Start in a corner or the ceiling if you are covering it too. There are 3 different plastic strips: corner, end, T-splice. Make sure you have enough to do the whole job before you start! More than a Carpenter http://www.carpenter.cjb.net He did not mention daisies,but he did tell me that I needed to glue the board to the wall. Do I nail the plastic strips, or glue them also. The marlite is in the pattern of 4 square tile. I don't think the daisies would look right with this style. I appreciate your help. quote:Originally posted by More than a Carpenter: Did the salesman tell you about the daisies? These are plastic flowers with screws.
