Gather what you have to do with the DIY kit? (8)
I believe the answer is:
assemble
'gather' is the definition.
('assemble' can be a synonym of 'gather')
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assemble that I've seen before include "Gather or congregate together" , "Come or bring group together" , "Gather together in one place" , "Collect in one place" , "Get together" .)
