Assembly Guidelines
§Use a magnetized Philips head bit.
§Tabs of rubber tape placed on the inside of clips are recommended to ensure that clips stay
in place and won’t slip.
§Use a piece of foam, 2″ x 9″, and cut to the depth you want (1″, 1 1/2″, 1 3/4″), to make
attachment of corners easier, as seen in demonstration video.
§Stretcher bar depth should not exceed 2 1/2″ for The HaloTM to be most effective. A stretcher
bar made of softer wood may require longer, bigger screws.
§1/4″ threaded brass inserts (used with 8-32 size machine screws) are the ideal way to insure
a secure attachment when The HaloTM is to be used repeatedly on the same painting.

Additional Protection
§To be most effective, stretcher bar depth should not exceed 2½ inches.
§After you have attached The HaloTM to your artwork:
§Wrap in clear polyethylene, using tape to secure the plastic.
§Tape cardboard to the front and back after it is wrapped it in polyethylene.
§For large canvases, tie cotton twill tape around the artwork before wrapping it in polyethylene
to prevent the plastic from touching the artwork surface.
Disassembly and Storage Guidelines
§Disassembling The HaloTM is easy: simply reverse the steps.
§Storing your The HaloTM Kit components when not in use is easy too. For example:
§A 16″ x 16″ x 30″ box can hold up to 8 sets (32 pieces) of rails.
§A plastic bin provides simple, easy storage for the corners and clips.
