Step 10Start Building the Grid
Now for the fun part. Grab the silicone and start squeezing. For a 3/4" grid lay a bead 3/8" from the side you'd like to be the front, and for a 2" grid lay two beads at 1/2" and 1 1/2" from the front. Unfortunately I didn't really have any pictures that show me laying a bead of silicone on a 285HV grid, so I've had to substitute some shots from the construction of a grid for the 580EX II. So much for continuity!
Once you're done, start placing straws, lining them up with the front and pushing them down into the silicone one after the other. Each row should be 14 straws. Start at the back and work forward, leaving a half-straw gap at the near end. You don't have to be super accurate about lining them up, silicone stays gooey for a while and we'll fix them later on. Just get close.
