According to the instructions on the box, a sheet of tissue is to be trimmed to match the size of the print and then placed into a dry mounting heat press with the tissue between the print and the surface it is being mounted to. Once in place, the hot press applies heat and pressure, fusing the print to the mount without the use of liquid adhesives, which might create rippling.

At the back of the projector is the brown power cord, a small white plastic power switch, and a metal screw attached to a rubber foot underneath that can be turned to adjust the height of the projector - attached to the screw is a paper price tag with a piece of string. Other items in the box with the projector are a user’s manual and various adverts for View-Master slides. The box has a deep black body and a white and silver lid. The box of View-Master slides contains 62 round slides in individual paper sleeves, a small green plastic-covered book on Alpine Wildflowers, and View-Master advertising pamphlets. The slides mostly pertain to tropical locations and National Parks throughout North America - all appear to have been purchased, rather than made by the Crosby family. The box has a black body and a shiny gold lid.
