□
47. Paint (first-coat) the Window Frames. Do not get paint on
the ends - wipe off any paint that has crept around the corner onto the
ends. Sand the Window Frames. The Frames will be re-painted after
assembly.
□
48. Each window is identified by the size of the Pane, so test
each size of Window Pane with the different Frame sizes to see how
they are used.
Window Panes:
2) 1st Floor Front
4) 1st Floor Side
2) 2nd Floor Front
4) 2nd Floor Side
1) Tower Front
2) Tower Side
Each window has two frames, one for the inside and one for the
outside. Set up frame parts for two sets of windows for each pane
Test assemble (no glue) a window Frame set. Practice holding the
frame pieces face-down on the work surface and putting on the rubber
band. When you can do it every time without pieces flying, then you
are ready for glue.
Steps in banding a window set:
•Lay out two side frames with the frames face down on the table or
on a piece of cardboard (less slippery).
•Set the top and bottom frames in place.
•Put a rubber band on your thumb and index finger, and push down
on the Side Frames with those fingers.
•Stretch the band over the top.
•Switch hands with the new thumb and index finger also pushing
down on the Side Frames. Now stretch the rubber band over the
other end of the window.
•Press down on each corner to line up the frames and make the
surface of the window flat.
Too frustrating? A snip of tape in each corner will keep the pieces
from flying, but remove the tape after the rubber band is on so the
parts can self-locate from the pressure of the band in the corners.
Glue and rubber band together all the Window Frames. A word
about mullions: Painted mullions can be nicked in handling before
assembly or at any time in the life of the dollhouse. In use, it is sel-
dom easy to see that a mullion has been nicked, but if you do want to
touch-up the mullions, mask the edges of the damaged mullion with
"magic" tape, rub the tape down on the edge next to the mullion, and
paint between the tape with "white-out"). Let the paint dry thorough-
ly before removing the tape.
