Hi, I have a backpad that needs repair (some water damage, tears, cracks, etc...).
Anybody have any ideas on repairs to the fiber board? I have tried to search the forum but could not find threads on repairing the backpad. Thanks, Bill. |

The biggest problem you'll find with the 914 Rubber back pad is that's it's made of fiberglass so staples won't go through it. MPITA. I repaired my fiberboard original the best I could using a fiberglass repair kit but the repairs were not where the staples go. I'll put a couple of pics here in the coming days.
Not saying anything bad about the 914 Rubber part....it's just not easy or straight forward to work with. |

I worked with an upholstery shop (and coincidently, now, so is 914Rubber) that made that same suggestion. On mine we attached a tack strip and we sent Mark a sample of it. Look for the next-gen backpad fiberglass to have that improvement. |
