Gluing, Clamping and Leveling The Shelf After you have attached the ledger to the wall, securing the shelf to the ledger is relatively easy, but not without peril. Because you are gluing the shelf to the wall (the ledger is now a part of the wall), it is something that you have to do correctly the first time...or live with imperfect results.

It is a process that, with a small shelf, you can complete alone — but an extra set of hands makes it much easier. If it's sloping up, bring the top clamping batten forward about 1/4" until it's level.
