Archival glue. Make sure the glue you use is acid free or it will yellow over time and ruin your work. It dries clear and it forgiving til it dries.
I get mine from Michaels craft store.

There are a few small screws on the back of the clock that releases the frame off the back and the glass stays with the frame.

Mainstays ... I think that's a Target brand correct?

Walmart. Lowe's has some nice clocks too. But thy can get expensive if you look at them. The only thing you will see once done is the frame and hands, so keep that in mind.

I wonder if a black background would look better and not have all the white showing around the edges and in between the bands. Just a thought..... what do you think?

Yeh, thats an idea I thought of doing, gettin a white face and painting it another color to have the bands pop out more.

I am really excited to find a clock to do this too down the road..... I dont have enough yet to fill the clock..... DAMN I have to start smoking more! :-)

Keep on smoking, they will pile up quick!
