Assembly and instructions for use:
- Cut the rear edge support and the side triangles to match the geographical latitude of your location and fold all the dotted lines at right angles towards the back. Cut along the solid lines of the shadow triangle and the M-shaped support, and score their dotted lines.
- Glue the tags of the rear edge support behind the side triangles to form a base.
- First fold the triangle, then fold the ‘M’ upwards at right angles along the dotted lines.
- Turn the sundial to face south. It shows true local time, which can differ by up to 2 hours from the time shown on a clock, depending on where you live.
