Face Shield Kit Information

Assembly Instructions:

STEP 1: GET CLEAN
Wash hands, using soap & hot water for at least 20 seconds. Clean work-space & tools with disinfectant wipes or spray.

STEP 2: SET UP

  • Put something on work surface to protect it from glue (e.g. cardboard).
  • Place paper template on work surface, with the side to be glued near you.
  • Tape template to work surface, covering the squares where elastic will be glued. This will protect the template.

STEP 3: CUT ELASTIC
Cut the elastic into strips for headbands, using the measuring guide at bottom of template.

STEP 4: SCUFF 
Scuff up areas to be glued with sand paper or nail file. This will increase glue adhesion.

STEP 5: GLUE & PRESS
  • Fill the line on FOAM area with glue.

  • Wipe stray glue strand on foam piece & set glue gun down.

  • Press Foam on glue FIRMLY.

  • Fill circles on Elastic area with glue. 

  • Wipe stray glue strands before setting down glue gun.

  • Place end of elastic band on the first circle & press FIRMLY, spreading the glue to end of plastic shield.

  • Stretch elastic across the foam & fold the end under, pressing onto the other circle at end of template.

  • Glue should spread to end of plastic shield.

Note: Be careful not to get stray glue strands on plastic shield. If the glue is not spreading, it is too cold.

STEP 6: CHECK
Tug on each end of the elastic to be sure it is firmly adhering. Gently pull on Foam to make sure it is secure.

STEP 7: CLEAN
Check shield for fingerprints or other smudges. Clean if necessary. Rubbing Alcohol works well.
