Grill Cloth Cardboard Backing
#5

Jerry;

Thanks for that warning! I had not thought about the staples going all the way through the wood - not good. I will have to pay close attention to the grill panel build-up and the thickness of the wood. The right length of staple is critical to getting it right. I will try some experimenting first to see how it goes. If I can not find staples that will work, I might find some small wood screws that would not go all the way through the wood. I would also imagine that some sort of solid backing needs to be in place on the front as stapling is done from the back to keep from causing any splits in the wood. There is more to this than meets the eye at first glance.

Joe
