3
Everything you need is here the block, paper,
rolling rod, back and screws
4
The rod should be a couple inches longer than the
paper
5
It takes a little practice to get the paper
started tight against the rod
6
Roll evenly until the paper is all on the rod
7
Hold the paper tightly so it doesnt unwind yet
8
Still holding tightly, insert rod with paper into
empty hole
9
Keep paper tight until its all the way through,
sticking out each end of block
10
Now release the paper it should try to unwind
and line the hole tightly
11
Then the rod slips out easily
12
Push the paper roll flush with the front of the
block
If it seems loose, push it back and forth a few
times to encourage it to uncurl
13
Once all the holes are filled, put the block face
down with the tails sticking up (out the back)
14
Sharply pinch a tube, then mash it down flat
15
A neat crease gives maximum usable length in the
tube, and creates a positive seal at the back
16
Do them all so they are all lying the same
direction
17
Slide the back on with the bend to be sure all
the tails are flat
Then fasten the back into the pre-drilled holes
18
A sharp knife makes short work of the tails that
need trimming
19
The back is all sealed up
20
And the block is ready for use
