DIY MAP KIT INSTRUCTIONS

Your Kit Contains:

• Pre-cut unstained baltic birch map pieces

• Assembly Instructions

 

Additional Supplies Needed:

• Wood stain (your choice of color)

• Super glue or CA glue (for quick bonding)

• Lint-free cloth for stain application

• Gloves (to keep hands clean)

• A ventilated area prepped with newspaper or a drop cloth

 

Step 1: Staining

• Wearing gloves, stir the wood stain thoroughly.

• In order to maintain the cleanest look - gently apply the stain with a lint-free cloth, using minimal stain over the whole map and frame, especially on the personalized plaque.

• Immediately wipe off any excess.

• Allow the pieces to dry according to the instructions on the stain container.

 

Step 2: Layout

• On a protected surface, arrange the map pieces using the outlines on the base layer as your guide.

 

Step 3: Assemble Map and Frame

• Once the stain has dried, apply a small amount of super glue or CA glue to the back of the top layer pieces.

• Position each piece to fully cover the outlines on the layer beneath, pressing firmly for a secure bond.

• For the frame, apply glue to the back of the frame pieces and align them with the outer edge of the base layer.

• Press down on the frame firmly to ensure it is well attached.

• Allow the glue to cure fully as per the manufacturer's recommendations before moving the map.
