Step 6Attach Inner Walls
Now that the inner walls are ready to go up. Time start assembly.
First, the front of the frame needs to be masked off. This will help protect it from scratches during assembly and make it easier to paint the outer walls once they are glued on.
Use some painters or masking tape and some scrap paper to cover the front.
Then trim the edges down with a razor knife. Anything hanging over the outer edge will block the paint and leave a mark.
Next get the 2-way mirror out.
- Now would be a good time to clean the mirror with Windex or similar.
- Place the front-frame face down(masked side down)
- Center the 2-way Mirror in the opening with the shiniest side facing upward, should be about 1/4" overlay all the way around. Use the miter seems to help center it. If its not perfect just meet the difference half-way. Ensure the shiniest side is facing up, and the dull side will be seen from the front.
- Apply a bead of glue, not a lot, but enough, to the clean edge of the inner wall and align one end of it with an edge of the mirror. It should be longer than the mirror. Press firmly and slide it back and forth a little bit to increase adhesion.
- Use some tape to keep the walls close up against the mirror and pressed against the front frame.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 inner walls.
- Once you have all 4 inner walls up, Allow to dry and use some Foil Tape or other permanent tape to secure the corners together.
Allow to dry really well before handling or moving to much. The 2-way mirror is pretty heavy and it might break wet glue.
