Step 12Optional: Glue it all in place
Once the electronics are in place and working you can hollow out a cavity in the styrofoam for it all to rest. This hole should be big enough to not put any pressure on the circuit when we push it into the box.
Pull the battery pack through the hole you made for it. We need to attach a front for it as well. The holder I purchased had a top and bottom section. Be sure not to glue the top section of the battery holder in place or you will not be able to get the batteries out. Glue the front we cut for this to it. This will create a 'drawer' for the batter pack so we can change it whenever it runs low. Now push the battery pack back in and it should hang over a bit, exactly like a cabinet drawer.
** You can paint it now or in the next step. Use the silver paint from earlier. **
Make sure the hole is a solid fit and then put spray adheasive/hot glue/super glue on the (nearly) finished side piece. Push it on to the project and make sure it takes hold. Test the circuit again. Does it work?
