After 24 hours hang them up with by the hook on the disc to a nail in the wall.

Set the plates in a cool dry place for 24 hours to dry. Slide the bottom plate hanger mount through the bottom of the looped spring and pull the spring until you can slide. The top of the hanger should barely touch the flat surface that your plate is lying on. Get a medium gauge picture wire and cut a little less than twice the distance between the two metal hangers.

For the oval platters which have edges that round up like a bowl i used two hooks each turned sideways and i flipped the hooks to create a hole for the nail. Firmly rub the disc with your fingertips or a slightly damp towel to remove excess glue or air bubbles. You can move them around as you please and the discs stay secure to the plates.

If they are too short to go around your platter they can be extended by using extra wire pieces. To hang i used a twist tie to secure the round platter to the nail in the wall. Make sure the screws are in at least two studs for extra strength.
