Practice holding the frame pieces face-down on the work surface
and putting on the rubber band (Illustration #25A: a scrap of tape
at each corner helps). In the illustrations, the hands are holding
the frame parts down, not squeezing together. When you can get
the rubber band on every time without pieces flying, then you are
ready for glue
Glue and rubber band together four window frames using the 6"
and the 4" frames. Confirm the size of the Frame you are building
with the 4 x 6 window Pane (it fits to the edges of the thicker part
of the frame - see illus. 25B)

Window Frame
A snip of tape in the corners helps keep the
parts still while you put put on the rubber
band, but take off the tape while the glue dries.
These hands are holding the frame parts down
against the table (not squeezing them together)
Attach the exterior window frames as part of the exterior finishing.
The Panes and Interior frames are installed after the interior finishing
is done (wallpaper, paint, etc.), set the window plexi into the window
cutout and glue the interior window frame in place.
