Also make sure the temperature is above 60°F and \n            there is no moisture on the mounting surface.\n\t\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStep \n            1\n\t\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Measure for th placement of the ceramic photo\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/9819\/6355\/files\/pic-step1.b.jpg?v=1772727295\" style=\"float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eFirst \n            find the place on the monument or memorial where you would \n            like to place the picture. In this case we have selected the \n            space above the wife's name panel. Clean very well with a \n            mixture of 50% water and 50% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) and \n            nothing else.  \n            The larger pictures and ones with frames come with a primer \n            to apply to the stone prior to placing on the memorial. Place \n            a piece of tape in the approximate center of where the picture \n            will sit. Using a ruler make a mark where the center of the \n            picture will reside.\n\t\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStep 2\n\t\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Measure the size of the photo\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/9819\/6355\/files\/pic-step2.b.jpg?v=1772727299\" style=\"float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;\"\u003e \u003cimg alt=\"Measure the ceeramic photo\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/9819\/6355\/files\/pic-step2.d.jpg?v=1772727302\" style=\"float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;\"\u003eOnce \n            you have your center point marked, proceed to measure the \n            picture for the height and width dimensions.
