Follow the steps below to construct your Do It Yourself Time-Lapse 360 Degree Camera Rotator:
1. Remove the top of the timer by lightly pulling on the lid until it is complete removed from the base of the kitchen timer
2. Use a blade or hard piece of metal to scratch the surface of the top center of the timer. This should also be done to the top of the Hex Bolt. The goal here is to create small grooves that will help the glue apply to the surface of the bolt and timer.
3. Wipe off the surface that you scratched and make sure there is no loose debris. Ensure the surface is dry.
4. With your glue ready find the center of the top of the kitchen timer. Apply a couple drops of glue to that area as well as the top of the Hex Bolt. Quickly attach the top of the hex bolt to the top center of the timer. The glue will set very quickly.
5. Let the glue dry for at least 20 minutes. I recommend an hour.
6. Enjoy your new Time Lapse Camera Rotator.
