Floater Frame Assembly Instructions

• Place the frame sections on the work surface and open your band clamp to create a loop that surrounds the sections

• Place a small dot of wood glue on each miter face and spread it evenly over the surface of each

• Bring the miters together to form the frame’s corners and fit the clamp’s brackets on each

• Pull the clamp tight against the corner brackets

• Tighten until the corners close

• Wipe away any squeeze out. Wait 60 minutes for the glue to dry.
  
  

Floater Frame Loading

• Measure down the back of the frame and make marks to locate the position of the screws

• Screws can be turned under hand-strength into softwood frames but with hardwood, you must drill

• Turn the frame face up and load the art into it

• When using a floater frame without a built-in step, achieve uniform spacing by using wedges of paper

• Turn the frame face down on a towel and screw the frame to the art to secure it

• You may opt to use off-set clips to secure the art
