Basshead08 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I have been working on my box for the past week. Plan is everything but the top painted with gray textured paint. The top is gonna be covered with two-way stretch microsuede. wrapped the top and was gonnaput it on to day...enter problem! When I went to drive a screw through the top the drill bit grabbed the material and twisted it up and ruined it. I have enough suede left over to wrap it again but I don't want to just ruin it again. Any advice?

BLuejoules Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 why'd you try to put a screw through the suede? Quote IG: devinthydude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehoe92 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 yeah suede is tricky but damn the final product looks good. its hard to cut the suede without it freying and stretching it doesn't really do much because if you stretch it on one side and want to stretch the other side it pulls from the side you just stretched. make sure you have it glued down and let it dry. the hardest part about suede is waiting otherwise your final product won't be pretty or you will be redoing other things. either that or just make sure you make a hole in the suede before you drill something.

Basshead08 Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The suede was glued down I was trying to attach it to the box. Never tried anything like this so I was kind of walking in to it blindly.

thehoe92 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 hmm well if I thought it out which I normally don't I would have gotten some cheap ass suede that was in the bargain bin or something and tried at it and if didn't go well you can just rip that shit off or put the good stuff over it. good thing you have extra Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basshead08 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm very interested in the hint but I guess I missed it. Put tape on what and also thanks everybody for all your help so far.

SQMonte Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm very interested in the hint but I guess I missed it. Put tape on what and also thanks everybody for all your help so far.Put the tape over the spot you need to put the screw, drill the hole, drive in the screw, remove the tape.....I don't know if that works as advertised but it sure couldn't hurt to try.
