Partial transcription of the video
“ Assembling the Frame Package I'll use a self-adhesive tape for this. This is adhesive tape specifically for framing. It's made out of paper and it's adhesive on one side.

You need to make sure that you're able to clean out the stickiness off your hands before touching your frame again....”
