After swiping and cleaning the glass (See above), attach a small piece of Framespace to one corner of the glass to use as a gauge for spacing the first side. (See Below). Attach the first side against the gauge piece and cut the other end flush with the edge of the glass as shown. Continue around the other three sides of the glass in the same manner. If you use sharp anvil pruners or fillet shears, the Framespace won't crush and you'll get a nice clean cut.

How to cut EconoSpaceCutting Econospace

Since you can't rely on the adhesive for permanence, it is recommended to either miter or at least support the ends of the top piece by applying the Econospace to the glass as shown below.

Adhere Econospace to the glass, not to the frame.

Cutaway view of EconoSpace

Adhere the Econospace flush with and to the edge of the glass rather than to the frame to insure the best possible bond and maximum engagement over the face of the art or decorative backing as shown above. The glass is the best surface for bond permanence. Do not "Center" the glass in the frame by applying theEconospace half on and half off the glass. The weight of the glass will shear the adhesive on the bottom spacer and the top spacer will only be held on by half the adhesive. It will sag.
