Re: Skin-on-Frame: Skinning with clear vinyl
In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Skinning with clear vinyl (Todd O)
With clear vinyl, it's easiest to fold one side over the stem, staple that directly to the front face of the stem, and trim neatly. Then fold the other side over and staple it, also, directly to the face of the stem, over the first layer, too, and then trim that side. You can glue this flap, too, or instead. Then glue a completely separate strip of material, 4 inches or so wide, the length of the stem, overlapping and sealing it all.
It's hard to make glued stems particularly neat, but, as Bill says, no one will notice but you.
Good luck!
