Black Straw Grids for the Vivitar 285HV

Step 13 Final Glue

Once you've reached 11 rows, run a bead or two of silicone around the entire outside of the grid, depending on the length of the straws.

Remove the masking tape protecting side 1, and apply a thin coat of paper glue to the outside of the tab and its mate. Let the glue sit a bit to get tacky, then press the tab into the opposite side of the strip, squishing the completed box into the silicone surrounding the grid.
