• 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.
• 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 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.
