Let’s go!
Step 1
First, sand down all edges and corners.
Step 2
Now place a board on the floor and place the three spacers upright on this board: Two spacers are set flush with the outside edges, the third is placed slightly off-center to leave enough room for the keyboard. Mark the position with a pencil.
Step 3
Then spread wood glue on the underside of the three spacers and put them in the appropriate places. Wipe it off any excess glue with a cloth.
Step 4
Now hold the structure in place with three gluing clamps – for this, it is best to put the wooden organizer at an angle over a table edge so that the clamps can be fastened. Let the whole thing dry for at least an hour.
Step 5
Then spread glue on the top of the three spacers and carefully place the second panel on top of them.
Step 6
Now cut out the Concrete White adhesive foil with an allowance to cover the edges at the front and back. Press the foil firmly down on the organizer’s top panel with the scraper.
You did it!
