Now build the workpiece: a triangular shape with the need to expand and seal the cut midway between the corners of the figures themselves. Bond needs only the tips of the glue, double-sided tape or a stapler.
The first step is made. Now we need to turn the workpiece in the opposite direction and once again to interconnect the free corners of the second row.
