LED Infinity Mirror, 32 LEDs, Selectable Patterns, Quality Frame

Step 3 Inner Wall

If you have purchased the kit you can skip this step as the inner walls come ready for LEDs and installation.

Drilling for the LEDs:

- Stack up your inner walls(all 4 of them, they are 2"x8.6"), align them evenly and wrap some painters or masking tape around them on each end. To hold them square.

* Acrylic may need to be drilled 1 at a time, use a scrap piece to find out how easy it is for you ti drill

- Print the hole template supplied in the ZIP. Align and tape it to the stack of inner walls.

- With a 1/4" drill bit drill on each of the intersections.

Now for the blocks to hold the mirrors in place.

- Find some scrap material and cut some 1/4" x 1/2" pieces. Size really doesn't matter but smaller is better to avoid noticing them to much when the Infinity mirror is on. One edge should be perfectly straight.

- Take one drilled inner wall and using your mirrors as a guide glue the blocks on like in the image below. Place a mirror on a flat surface and stand the wall up next to it to use a guide for the placement. Remember both the 2-way and normal mirror might not be the same size.

- Check to make sure their placement is correct.

- Repeat with all the inner wall pieces.

Painting:
If need be, these could be colored with a black enamel  marker( big sharpie ), but painting is easiest. But they should be matte black.

* I use Krylon Fusion Glossy as a base coat(because it adheres well), then use some regular matte black to paint over that and it sticks fine.

The edge that will hold the 2-way mirror in, needs to be kept from getting paint on it or the glue won't hold.

- With some painters or masking tape. Tape down the edges of one side of the inner walls.

- With a razor blade cut off the extra tape so only the edge is covered.

Now that the front edge is masked off.

- Paint these the same way as the front of the frame. But they must be painted black, matte finish will produce better results.

- Remove the tape from the edge. It should be completely clean, if not, scrap off paint with a razor.
