"In this clip we're going to show you how to assemble a plaque. Plaque consists of basically a couple of different things; the plaque board itself, and the plate that we're going to attach to it. This particular plaque we assemble using a double sided tape. And we're just going to apply to the back of the plaque. We use just enough. This is a special type of tape that we use, it's the same type of tape that holds the trim on your car, so we make sure that we have a firm adhesive. Strip off the double side and then position the plate in the center of the board. And then put it down very gently with some nice even pressure. On this particular plaque we've left a space up here because we're going to apply this patch that's going to be put up here. On this we will use some special adhesive that we'll spray on the back of the patch, and then we'll very carefully put down and apply like so."
