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.

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

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
