Painted Black Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 I just use masking tape to hold it to a flat piece of glass and start at one end gluing till I get to the other end, came out pretty straight..HTH and good luck. 2

That's what I tried yesterday but the frame was so twisted from the factory it wouldn't line up.So I clamped it up on a flat piece of wood & put it in my dehydrator to flatten it out.Today I'll retry taping it to glass. Thanks
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Clamping that would be very hard. What I do is drill out both attach points, insert a common pin in one side, snip off leaving just a small piece then and slide it into the other end. This gives you a very solid attachment. I use a #75 (or so) sized drill in a pin vise. I give me a starter hole by pushing the point of a pin into the part first, That gives your drill a place to start and helps preventing the bit from wandering. Take it slow and check your hole to make sure it's on center. A lighted magnifying lamp helps my olde eyes to do this. If you do this on two attach points, the other points line up. -RRR
