Step 1

Spray mount to panel

You need:

Begin by selecting a template for your puzzle. You can create one of your own or download our design on the Getting Started tab. Once you have your template printed or drawn out, spray mount it to your MDF panel. Tip: Before mounting your template, cut your MDF board to size. You can accomplish this cut quickly and easily with a Dremel Saw-Max and fitted with a SM500 wheel.
