in 14 days this will be ready to hang!


i finally got up the courage and patience the other day to glue the hanging device onto the back of the tractor tiles. i ordered these eye hooks online, they are perfect for hanging these tiles.



i had to scotch-brite the surface of the eye hooks then clean with metho and isopropyl alcohol, before applying the construction grade silicon adhesive.



i also had to thoroughly clean the glass. all this set up took about and hour, but it was worth it. i had a wooden template made up so i could locate the key hole in the same place on each tile.


now all that is left to do is wait the 14 days this silicon takes to fully cure, and i can hang it on the wall. lets hope it looks good once it is up.
