Installation Instructions
 Mist the back of the cloth lightly with a water spray.  Using an iron on low to medium heat,.. smooth the cloth if necessary,.. but do not  iron it dry. 
You want the cloth to be damp during the process, so it shrinks as it dries.  Make sure your pattern is aligned straight with the edge of your board before performing the glue 
application.
   
   Then use 3M Super 77 spray adhesive, and spray the edge of the board and  about an inch wide band , around the face side outer edge of the speaker board,...not all over it. 
This leaves the cloth free to stretch in the field.  As you stretch the cloth gently, top to bottom and side to side, watching that your pattern remains straight.  Pulling it down over the glued edge will help in this process. Then cut the excess cloth from along the back of the board,  making sure to leave enough in case you have to stretch an area again. After is has completely dried  you may finish the trimming.
 
   You can also spray the glue on a piece of paper and use a brush for applying in tight places.
***FYI***
Here are some important things you need to know

 before selecting your vintage radio grille cloth

REMEMBER !

   When purchasing cloth,  first you should inquire about the weight of  yarn and how tightly the cloth is woven.  

   When holding your  cloth to a light source, you should be able to see light through your speaker cloth fabric , which assures a good measure of  sound quality.  Also if a fabric is too tight,  it could restrict decibel pressure and possibly  cause damage to the speaker,  creating tears in the cone or damage to the voice coil.

A few of our generic patterns measure about 50%  percent light visual,  however, most all are duplicated to be about 70 to 75 % light showing through the cloth. We have actually dropped a couple of  the generics because I felt they were woven too tight.

   This site is the only place to buy authentic vintage radio grille cloth duplications, created with the precise weave ,  correct yarn selections and a finish product as true to the real thing,..as any could be. 

During the first two of the five years, ....Richmond Designs Inc  was  literally scanning the globe searching for a weaver to  help us create a true quality duplication of the original 30s cloth.    After  many months of  hard work and persistence, we finally found a weaver to work with us right here in the USA.   From the first run off the looms to this date, we have managed to offer several authentic patterns.   I state this because it is important that you know, we don't just run down to the local  fabric store and pick up a couple of yards of something you might like.  

Our patterns  were set up  years ago and they are here to stay.  The beautiful cloth we offer you now , will always be available to you on our site, or on Ebay.
