Part 1. Setting up the rig
1. Secure the TV with the wooden blocks. Measure the distance where your glass needs to sit on the TV.
Double check the measurements. You only need to set one side of your rig up with 90 degree angles. This will ensure that the glass is perfectly aligned with the TV screen.
Your set up should be taller than the glass to guide it into place.
Part 2. VHB Tape
1. Line the bezel of the TV with your tape. Use the razor blade to cut away excess tape. Be careful not to scratch the screen by accident.
2. Find the location of the IR sensor and leave it tape free.
Part 3. Cleaning glass and peeling off the VHB tape
1. Clean the glass and TV with your microfiber cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
2. Peel all VHB tape.
3. Observe what is the front and back of the glass. The front of the glass will be facing out.
4. Line your glass up with the two 90 degree angles. If possible have some help when properly lining up the glass. Drop the glass when ready.
Part 4. Mirror mastic and painters tape
1. Flip over the TV. Use the black gunther mirror mastic to line the space from the mirror to the TV. Leave no open spaces.
Completely seal the glass to the TV. Let the mirror mastic dry for 3 hours.
