Tip:
When doing a deep engraving into wood, it could be more practical to first cut the job and then engrave when it's over.

Step 7: Cleaning and assembling

Wipe the two acrylic pieces with a damp cloth. The wooden relief engraving can best be cleaned with a toothbrush and water. Read about some tips and tricks to properly clean your workpieces.

Apply the acrylic glue to the engraved ring on the base plate and put the TroGlass Metallic ring on it. Apply firm pressure to the ring and let the glue take effect. Next, put double-sided tape or adhesive dots where the wooden relief workpiece is going to be and then fix it in place.

After, put double-sided tape on each side of the wooden spacer and attach it to the left and right of the black base plate. Be sure to have the contact surface be rectangular to ensure that the trophy can stand upright.

Lastly, place the "winner" lettering and the matching back onto the spacers and your stylish trophy is finished.
