Tip:

For deep wood engravings, it is good practice to
cut wood in the first step and carry out the
relief engraving in the next step.

Clean the TroGlass materials with a damp cloth. Relief engraving on wood is best cleaned with a toothbrush and some water.
Cleaning is followed by the assembly, where the acrylic adhesive is placed in the engraved ring of the base plate and the TroGlass metal ring is inserted. To ensure good durability, press the ring firmly onto the base material and wait for the adhesive to set.
To attach the relief engraving in the center of the base plate circle, use a double-sided adhesive tape or adhesive dots.
First, take wooden spacers and apply double-sided adhesive tape on both sides. Stick these to the left and right of the satined base plate. Create a rectangular supporting surface to ensure that the trophy is positioned straight later on.
In the last step, take the engraved solid wood with the WINNER lettering, as well as the corresponding rear side and stick them on the spacers.
