Step 5: Reinforce Hanger

The tin will add quite a bit more weight to the poster frame so let's take a closer look at the hanger. Flip the backing over and inspect the hanger. Strong or wimpy? Chances are it could use a little reinforcement before final assembly. This can be done easily with either hot glue or white glue.

(1) Prep Tools and Materials
Get your hot glue gun ready (or white glue).

(2) Position the hanger
If needed, bend the hanger into position. Allow enough room for a screw to slide under it.

(3) Apply Glue
Apply the glue liberally around the bracket as shown. make sure to get all sides of the hanger covered, but do not fill in the gap where the screw will go.

Let it dry thoroughly to form a strong, hard bond around the hanger.
