It’s important to make the cut as clean and straight as possible to avoid big gaps when the mould is assembled. Finish up your cuts with a file to ensure your edges are smooth for the next steps to come.\n\nTip: Consider where the weld seam is on your piece of metal tube as it will l leave a mark on your plastic beam.\n",

It can be helpful to start with the brackets bolted together and overlay one side (as shown on the image), so that they can function as an alignment.\nOnce everything sits in the right position, tack the brackets to the beam and repeat the process on the other side. Once all your parts are tacked into position, weld it all up!\nTip: By aligning the brackets with the angle of your cut, and adding a bit of space between the brackets you can achieve a well sealed joint.\n",
