Frame Assembly
❶ 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.
❷ Align
each corner
together
with each
section in
the proper
position,
then one
section at a
time, apply glue to one side of each mitered joint and
spread evenly.
❸ With the flat side up, pressing each joint together,
insert the Dovetail Keys (flat side up) into the holes to
secure each miter joint, one at a time, until all four corners
have been joined.
❹ If needed, tap each Dovetail key lightly with a
hammer until they are flush with the frame. If you do use a
hammer, also use a soft towel or your hand underneath
the frame to protect the face of the frame from scratching.

❺ Turn the frame over (face up). 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.
❻ Allow the glue to dry for at least one hour.
❼ While the frame is drying, go and clean your mirror
edges thoroughly using rubbing alcohol so that your new
frame will adhere properly to the mirror.
CAUTION: Do not touch the adhesive strips after
removing the backing, they are VERY sticky!
