| This is a helpful tip if you
work on any old pieces that have the wood all/almost gone
because of tacks and staples from past upholstering. I had
this rocker brought to me already striped and after I
started on it I could see why it had not been recovered yet
the wood in many places was gone or so full of holes there
was nothing to staple to.
I have found a way to build these voids. You can't use
putty or normal wood glue because it dries in a solid fill
and is to hard to drive the staples into.
But with a glue that foams up when it is sprayed with
water. The foam will take to staples with ease. I is easy to
find made of polyurethane and is sold by Elmer's they call
it Ultimate Glue. |
