Measure in field for exact measurements.
Blending the cut AB Dublin and AB York blocks allows any custom curves to be created. Step 1: While building the first two courses at the same time, use a dead blow hammer to adjust transition and gaps
between units to achieve desired curve. It may be necessary to slightly increase gaps to obtain desired curve.Step 2: When units appear not to fit together, remove an AB York and replace with a half AB Dublin, oriented the
correct direction, to overcome the tight or loose condition to obtain the desired curve.Step 3: When using the Options A, B, C or D you may find that patterns do not always repeat. Use any combina-
tion of these patterns to overcome tight or loose fit conditions.
