- Page 2 Page 2 of 8 35B DIY Assembly Instructions Parts prep before starting the job Make sure you are working on a sturdy flat work surface that will not scratch or dent your parts while handling them. Lightly sand the part edges so that they are free from burs and splinters. Always clean excess glue off of your parts with a damp rag as this will make final sanding and finishing after assembly easier.
