...actually, Sam Mashburn, not Mark Palmquist.

Sam sells the cloth; Mark sells the dial covers. They share the same booth at K-town.

As for mounting the cloth...

I cut the cloth slightly larger than what is needed. It is good to apply spray starch and iron out any folds if necessary.

Use 3M Super 77 or equivalent spray adhesive on the backing board.

Then it's a matter of laying the cloth down and stretching it out as best as you can.

I'm sure others have a better solution, and I would (seriously) like to hear it...
