•
There are two types of screws used in this kit:
Sheet metal screws are designated by a number and a
length. For example #6 x 3/4"
This is a number six screw that is 3/4" long.
Machine screws are designated by a number, threads per
inch, and a length. For example 4-40 x 3/4"
This is a number four screw that is 3/4" long with
forty threads per inch.
•
When you see the term
test fit in the instructions, it
means that you should first position the part on the
assembly without using any glue, then slightly modify or
custom fit the part as necessary for the best fit.
•
Whenever the term
glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When a
specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
•
Whenever just
epoxy is specified you may use either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy
or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.

Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps
to get another view of the same parts.
