flex i file

Post by LyleW »

Okay, I know this is probably hard to believe, but....

:whiteflag: how the heck to you get the backing off the strips to press them on the holder? Or do you get the strip off the holder? That doesn't seem likely. I've poked, prodded and tried to pry up a piece of anything and have had no luck. :chair: :whiteflag:

Backing? Holder??

Every strip has loops on its ends. They just have to be pulled over the ends of the metal frame and that's it.

But maybe I get you wrong?

That is funny. If I used that off brand, what was it? Cantwork? You could not see the pictures.

It is amazing how well that works when you used it properly! What a giant BRAIN FART that was! Oh well, at least the paint shelf hasn't fallen apart yet.

Too late. Lyle don't need to read no stinkin' instructions. That's why he comes on here for help first. LOLOL!!! I should pick up some flexi-files next time Hobby Lobby gets some in. Would be worth the money.
