Check to make sure that parts A, B, C and D are flush with the front of the frame. If not it will be necessary to sand them flush.

For the finish, first sand all parts carefully with 220 or 340 grit aluminum oxide paper. A sealing coat is then applied. This coat should be sanded thoroughly with 220 grit paper. The first coat of varnish is sanded with 340 grit paper, then rubbed down with steel wool. The final coat is dressed with

600 grit wet or dry paper, and again rubbed down with steel wool. A good coat of hard wax follows.

Single strength mirror glass (part H) is satisfactory. The mirror is backed up with a single piece of V* in. thick hard-board (part I).
