Step 18. Place masking tape on the outside of the pumpkin to keep it together and then place "he toped pieces on top of the backer piece. Line up the pumpkin carefully and remove one of the side pieces as illustrated. Use a black magic marker to draw a thick line where the two sections meet. This is done just in case there is not a perfect fit between two pieces. Since the background is black, it cannot refect light and show any imperfections you might have.

Step 19. Glue the piece to Ihe bac<er board using Hot Stuff Super "T" Cyanoacn/late (CA) glue. Hot Stuff Super "T" dries in approximately 30 seconds, thus giving you some time to assure a good fit and bond between the two surfaces. Now glue the remaining pieces to the backer board, coloring any joint lines ahead of you. Step 20. Enjoy your finished pumpkin trivet. Do nol place it to near the stove; if might turn into a pumpkin pie!
