After the contact cement is dry, squeeze the neoprene on to the clip.

Strap

Put the hook-and-loop cable wrap between the clip and the LED light. Make sure the fuzzy side faces out; the hook side will snag on clothing and other items if it faces out.

Reattach the clip to the LED light.

Wrap the strap around the finger and the light is mounted.

Leave the cable wrap long if the light is to be attached to various other objects. Otherwise, cut to length.
