There’s no Assembly required because we’ve done it for you.  Just fill one of the leak proof plastic bags with approximately six quarts of water & place the filled bag inside the form.  Fold the top of the bag over the top edge of the Flex Form & slide the lid over the top.  Place the filled Flex Form in your home freezer for at least 24 hours.  Then simply flex the sides of the form & remove the hard frozen block of ice from the the form. The block of ice is already in a plastic bag & ready for use or storage for a later outing. Your original purchase price includes the reusable Flex Form, 50 leak proof plastic bags and shipping costs within the continental United States.  Shipping costs outside the continental U.S. will be quoted upon request.
