Using the clips secure your piece to the honeycomb. Slide the clip into a hole at a diagonal. Twist the clip until it is perpendicular to the top of the laser and locking the piece in place. Call staff if you need assistance.

If your material IS NOT warped skip this step, and instead, place the material in the topmost left corner.
