Blick Custom Wood Frame Kits: Assembling Your Frame

Ready to assemble your Blick Custom Wood Frame? This video will walk you through joining the four rails into a clean, squared frame. Your kit includes the dovetail keys. You’ll also need: • PVA wood glue • A rubber mallet or small hammer • A soft surface to work on, like a towel Follow along as we show you how to glue the mitered corners; set them to a true 90° angle; lock each joint with a dovetail key; tap the joints into place; and wipe away any excess glue. Important: Don’t fill the routed opening with glue, and let the frame dry for at least 24 hours before fitting your artwork. Once it’s dry, watch our wood frame fitting and finishing video to complete the job. Learn more about Blick Custom Framing: https://www.dickblick.com/custom-services/framing/
