Philco 39-30 Grille/Bezel Questions
#5

I picked up some 3M 77 adhesive tonight, and ironed out the cloth with my iron on the lowest setting with steam.  Got most of the creases out.  The main crease wouldn't some fully out, but it's not very noticeable now.  I read about a method of pinning the cloth down to card board with pins to stretch it tight.  So I gave that a try.  Lightly put a coat of adhesive on the card board cutout, and laid it on the backside of the cloth as straight as possible.  I put some heavy stuff on it for about an hour, then used a fresh xacto blade to cut it out.  Didn't turn out too bad.  It's certainly not 100% tight.  But it's not horrible either.  Pretty good for a first try ever.  At least I think so.
