Not such an easy procedure for sure for the non-stretch fabrics – direct words from Brett who is in the photo. But somehow he manages to do an excellent job every time… though he has told me that in some cases he has had to restart from the beginning when there may sometimes be an anomaly in the fabric. Takes patience and that certain skill that I envy people who have. I’ve sent a text to ask how many yards are required just to be sure.
Not to worry while the covers are off, not spilling coffee is a good idea. Carefully vacuuming the panels before applying the fabric is normal and if you are interested to do a heat treatment to the mylar (using a heat gun) to return it to its original tension (not necessary if nothing is wrong – it’s just much easier to do when the fabric is off) Cheers, Chris
