Frame Assembly

Lay the frame sections face down on
the floor (or a flat work surface). You should
put something soft (a scrap towel or blanket,
etc.) under the frame sections to prevent
accidental scratches of the frame.
CAUTION: Do not remove any of the
adhesive backing from the back of the frame
sections yet.
 Align each corner together with each
section in the proper position.
 One section at a time, apply glue to
one side of each mitered joint and spread
evenly.

With the flat side up, pressing each joint
together, insert the Dovetail Keys into the holes to
secure each miter joint, one at a time, until all four
corners have been joined. Push the keys in with
your thumb (flat edge up), then tap them lightly with
a hammer if needed until they are flush. (If using a
hammer, use a folded soft towel or your hand
underneath the frame to protect the frame.)
After completing all 4 corners, wipe off any excess
glue that might be on the frame.
Dovetail Keys
 Turn the frame over. Check all the joints to
ensure the miters are level, meet evenly and that
all corners are flush. Wipe off any excess glue.
NOTE: Do not handle the frame from the
corners. It is best to grasp the frame with two
hands near the center of the top, or bottom section
of frame, to pick it up.
 Allow the glue to dry for at least one hour.
 While the frame is drying, clean your mirror
edges thoroughly using rubbing alcohol so that
your new frame will adhere properly to the mirror.
