Article: Stand-off mounts allow you to suspend the piece away from the wall. This is ideal for glass art and signage because it allows light to reflect through, enhancing translucence. Each mount consists of an anchor, a screw, a barrel, and a cap. The length of the barrel determines how far away from the wall your sign or artwork will sit. The edge grip variety of stand-off mounts do not require your glass piece to have holes drilled into it. The edges of the glass are gripped by a channel in the mount. You can choose from metal, acrylic, or plastic mounts in a variety of colors and shapes. They also come with varying barrel lengths so you can suspend your piece closer or further from the wall, depending on your preference. Be sure to select an anchor style that matches your room decor and wall material (masonry, drywall, etc.). If you have a glass art work that is irregular in thickness, purchase edge grip mounts that are adjustable. If your piece is uniform, measure the thickness and buy mounts that have a channel that matches. 2 mounts will hold the bottom edge of your piece and 2 mounts will secure the top edge. Come in 1 to 4 inches (2.5 to 10.2cm) from each corner, depending on the size of the glass. Pull off 4 small pieces of masking tape and place them on the mirror's surface in each corner. The distance between the top 2 marks should be the same as the distance between the bottom 2 marks. The wider the glass is, the farther you can come in from the corner. Hold the glass up in your chosen location and make 2 light pencil marks on the wall that line up with where you've placed tape on the top edge. Use a level to double check that your marks are even. Then, mark the wall for the bottom edge using the same technique. It's easiest to have someone help you with this part. Hold the drill firmly and check to see that the bit is parallel to the floor. Place the anchors into the holes and tap them into the wall until they are flush. Make sure your drill bit size matches the anchor size! Position the mount over the anchor, lining the screw up. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the screw. Hold your drill or screwdriver so that it is parallel to the floor and exert steady pressure. Attach all 4 mounts using this same technique. Before you tighten the screw down all the way, check to make sure the channel side is straight and facing the right direction. Tighten the small set screws on each mount to make sure the glass is nice and snug in the channel. Depending on the style of the mount, this may require a different driver bit or screwdriver. If the glass is not sliding into all 4 channels, check to make sure the channels are all lined up parallel to the floor. Loosen the screws to adjust if necessary. Some caps screw into the barrel while others simply pop into place. Once your mirror is securely installed, put the caps on the barrels according to the kit's instructions.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose edge grip stand-off mounts to hang glass art and signage. Buy a kit of 4 mounts in a style and color that match your piece and decor. Use masking tape to mark the glass where the mounts will go. Determine where you want to mount your piece and mark the wall. Drill 14 inch (0.64cm) deep holes for your anchors. Place the support screw down through the hollow barrel of the mount. Guide your glass piece gently into the channels from the side. Place the caps on each barrel to finish the look.
Article: Purchase a can of compressed air commonly used to clean electronics. Keep the nozzle about 1 inch (2.5cm) from the screen and use short bursts of air. Blow the entire screen to loosen the dust. Compressed air can be purchased at electronics or big box stores. Make a loop of tape around your fingers with the sticky side facing out. Cover your fingernails and knuckles so they do not come into contact with the screen. Using wider tape will help you cover more area when you clean the screen. With the tape wrapped around your hand, press it onto the screen on top of the mark. Lift your hand away from the screen and continue patting it until the mark disappears. Switch between using the frontside and backside of your hand so you don't put residue back on the screen. Wear latex gloves to avoid getting fingerprints or scratches on the screen. If the mark is larger or is not coming up with the tape, you may have to use a stronger cleaning method.
