How and How Long:
- To remove glass panes, pry away molding that is holding glass in position, then scrape away putty to loosen glass pieces.
- Sand surface of frame smooth with medium grit sandpaper. Wipe dust from surface with tackcloth.
- Paint both sides of frame with Make It Stone!® spraying with several light coats. Let dry completely.
- Apply Make It Last!®. Let dry.
- Lay frame right side down on flat surface. Carefully position pre-cut mirror panels into frame openings with mirrored side facing down (can have panels cut at hardware store).
- Cut foam core or cardboard to size of frame openings and place over mirrors to hold panels in place.
- Use a putty knife to slide glazing points into frame, securely holding cardboard and mirror in position (option: after inserting glazing points you can also add duct tape around seams for extra security).
- Turn frame over with mirror side facing up and mask off a border in each pane. Spray with Frosted Glass Finish and let dry several hours or overnight. Remove masking tape.
- Attach window hanging hardware to backside of frame (2 screw-eyes and picture hanging wire).
Approximate project time: 2.5 hours.
