The contact glue screws the wood up big time so I'll be rebuilding these and taking a new strategy with the vinyl

Well if I switch glues (I bought "gel formula" without looking around) and vinyl each of the three pieces individually it should look much better

They look.. um.. Decent?

Some sanding, and re-vinyl, and I don't see a problem.

Vinyl is a B to work with unless you get really stretchy stuff.

Did you try using a heat gun/hairdrier?

 

[TypeRBass 10+ year member]

meh vinyl isn't HORRIBLE to work with if youve worked with it before...heat is the key with vinyl.

 

[MadAudio 10+ year member]

another little trick with vinyl is to pop it in the oven for a few minutes to get it nice and warm gotta becareful though you dont want to melt it and some melts real real easy.

Heat gun is your friend. Next time carpet first to use as padding, then 3M "super 90 and staple the back as you stretch it over.

Or send me a pair, Ill have em back to ya in a Jiff. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
