Recommendations Installing Top Wire On Welting
Found out today that my top wood his harder than nails. In addition, since the
Black Roof material has already been installed, finding the little holes in the metal channel (using an ice pick) is really a challenge. We are about to start drilling holes and then sink brads in each to secure the welt. What do you guys think, Is there a different approach? Thanks |

We were thinking that it might be easier to pull each tack and use the same take hole to secure the welting just make the new tack longer. That way we will not need to poke and prod our way looking for a gap in the channel where the wood is underneath. Or is there a better way, that we haven't thought of yet. ?? We would welcome just about anyone who has installed a hydem or wire welt and how they did it. Thanks. Last edited by 30-Coupe; 05-05-2017 at 04:25 AM. |
