Once the print has been mounted you will need to measure the outside of the mat board to get a frame size. Cut the frame on the mitre saw. We used a 20mm wide black frame. Once you have cut the first side check it is the correct length before cutting the other sides.
Use a similar coloured marker to the frame, to draw a line around the edges of the frame. This will make the edges tidier and the join less noticeable.
Put a small drop of glue on the end of the frame. This will help with strength to keep the frame together.
Use the v-nailer to but two 10mm v-nails in each corner. One near the outside of the frame and one near the inside.
Measure this inside of the frame to get a size for the glass. Cut the glass then check it fits inside the frame.
Use glass cleaner with a lint free paper towel then a soft cloth to clean the glass. Clean both sides of the glass. Use the air gun to blow away any dust from the glass and print. Then put the print onto the glass.
Turn it over and put the frame over the glass. Check again that there is no dust under the glass. Use a staple gun to attach backing to the frame.
Tape the back to keep the dust out and make it tidy.
Measure about 1/3 of the height from the top of the frame. Use a drill to attach d-rings then hanging cord. Apply a small amount of tape to each end of the hanging cord to make it tidy.
The frame is now complete and ready to hang on the wall.
