Lay the foam board face down on a clean, hard surface.
-
Mark the position of the
Kwik Hanger on the back of the foam board with a pencil.
Note: Do not use
foamboard metal hangers on any board less than 3/16" thick or the hanger prongs will penetrate through to the front surface, nor on hard-faced foam board such as Gatorboard/Gatorfoam which the hanger prongs cannot penetrate.
-
Push the
Kwik
Hanger down and forward simultaneously using your thumb and forefinger until the underside of the hanger is fully flush against the board’s surface.
-
Press down on the Kwik Hanger's arrow-point center anchor with the tip of a flathead screwdriver or similar blunt object to lock the hanger in place.
-
Hold down the locked portion of the hanger in place, then bend the upper portion back slightly, raising it to ¼ inch above the board.
-
If using two
Kwik Hangers, place each on its own
picture hook to keep
foamboard-mounted art level when hung.
-
If you are using picture wire in combination with
Kwik Hangers, put 2-3 inches of sturdy tape crossways over the locked section of each hanger to help hold it in place.
-
To remove a Kwik Hanger, wiggle it until it loosens, then pull it out. Discard the used hanger and do not reuse it.
