PROJECT NOTE
We unscrewed the top fromthe bench before we started.
1. Apply AlcolinContact Adhesiveto the surface of thebench top and thesponge with theapplicator. Let itget tacky for about5 minutes. Positionthe sponge on thebench top and applysome pressure.
2. Place the bench top in thecentre of the batting, withthe sponge facing down.Fold the batting over andstaple it in place on all foursides. Cut any excess away.
3. Repeat step 2 with the fabric. Fold a seam atthe edge of the fabric. Staple the opposite sidesfirst and stretch the fabric tight as you go. Start inthe middle of each side and work your way to thecorners. Once you've done all the sides, fold thecorners neatly, as you do when wrapping a gift,and staple the fabric in place.
To finish...
Screw the benchtop back in place.
