Prepare The Floors - Real Good Toys Victorian Painted Lady Instructions Manual

Instructions for kit #JM-4600

Prepare the Floors:

□
1.
The Base Floor will be used to exactly locate the
Bay Floors on the Middle Floor and Top Floor. Protect
the Base Floor with waxed paper from the glue (Illustra-
tion #1).
□
2. Lay the Middle Floor on the Base Floor with the
stairhole closer to the right edge (the Middle Floor's
stairhole is centered front-to-back). (Illustration #2).
Prepare flaps of tape for holding the Bay Floors tight; the
tape is stuck to the bottom of the Middle Floor. Line up
the Middle Floor with the edges of the Base Floor.
□
3. Glue and tape the Bay Floors to the Middle Floor,
carefully lined up on the angled edges. Stretch the tape
under the Bay Floors, fold it over the top, and stretch it
again to hold tight across the bottom and the top.
(Illustration #3)
Check several times around the outside of the floors that
the Middle Floor/Bay Floors line up with the Base Floor.
□
4. Glue the Stairhole Glueblock inside the Stairhole
as shown, with the 3 / " thickness up-and-down (the same
8
thickness as the floor)
Let the glue set for several minutes before moving the
Middle Floor so the Bay Floors won't slip. When you
do move the floor, clean up the glue with a damp rag and
then a dry rag but be gentle! Replace the Waxed paper
with a fresh piece for the Top Floor/Bay Floor assembly
□
5. Set the Top Floor on the Base Floor with the
stairhole closer to the front and right edge. (Illustration
#4)
Glue and tape a Bay Floor to the left edge only of the Top
Floor, lined up carefully with the edges of the Base Floor.
