Build TUTORIAL

FOOTEDTRIANGLE

1

Coat one end

of the corks

with your adhesive

of choice and

place one cork

on each of the

triangle’s corners,

approximately one

inch away from

the edge.

2

Clamp the

corks in place

and let the glue

dry thoroughly.

3

Remove the clamps. This tool is light and

comfortable to hold. Its transparency makes it easy

to see the painting surface while working.

HANDLED RULER

1

Cut off a small piece of cork to attach between a metal

knob and clamp, which will prevent the knob from

slipping during the clamping process. This also protects

the knob from scratches while it’s clampedtotheruler.

2

Apply your

adhesive of

choice and clamp

the knob halfway

down the ruler,

using the cork as a

cushion between

the knob and

clamp. Let the

glue dry

thoroughly.

3

Remove the clamp and cork. When using the

handled ruler, make sure that the painting surface is

dry since the ruler will rest directly on the canvas.
