6. Clean the surfaces of the shadow box frame where the tape and sealant will be applied with an approved solvent or cleaner.
7. Apply 1/4” x 1/4” glazing tape (WM86) to the shadow box frame. Remove the liner only from the side of the tape to be applied. See Figure 6.
8. Peel the remaining liner back about 1” from each end of the glazing tape to allow easy removal once the panel has been set.
9. Measure opposing corners and compare the dimensions to make sure the frame is square, and straighten if required. Squareness of the frame is critical.
10. Set the panel onto the tape making sure the panel overhangs equally around all four edges (1/16” overhang). See Figures 7 and 8.
11. When the panel is in position, pull the remaining liner from the glazing tape and press the panel firmly into place.
