Step 6Construction - Painting and applying the printed graphic.
Once the shape is prepared and finished the presentation can be worked on.
The edges need to be painted to match the clock design. If the wood is a fairly dark colour but the design is bright then the wood needs to painted white or a lighter colour.
A wood primer was used first (this is the white coat seen in the pictures) then followed by a black coat on the edges as this matched the outlines of the design.
To stick the printed paper to the wood, first cut it out. Practice placing the paper onto the wood trying to get the alignment as accurate as possible. Once ready, spray contact adhesive onto the back of both surfaces, wait till it becomes tacky and then apply the surfaces together. Use a rag to press the paper making sure there are no bubbles or creases.
Once dry, a final clear coat can be applied if desired.
