11. Place the assembly face down on the table. While holding the grill cloth in its proper place, use
your staple gun to put one staple into the edge of the baffle board in the middle of each side.
Make sure the staple is right in the middle of the baffle board in both directions (up/down and
left/right).

12. Re-examine the assembly to make sure the grill cloth lines are still straight (use your speed
square) and check to make sure the back of the grill cloth is still flat against the front of the
baffle board. If so, proceed with placing staples around the edges. Start in the middle of each
side and move to the corners.

Alternate sides with each staple. Put the staples in at a 45
degree angle, so that all the staples aren’t lined up in the middle of the edge.

If any staples
aren’t seated properly you can use your hammer to tap them in. Periodically use your speed
square to check that the lines are remaining straight (in both directions). Don’t worry about
getting the grill cloth tight on this step, just concern yourself with getting the lines straight. If you
notice some of the lines are going crooked, pull out the necessary staples and start over. Take
your time and you will be pleased with the results.
13. When you are done stapling and the lines are all straight, cut the long lengths of the grill cloth
from the corners of the baffle board.
