I worked outside, because of overspray and fumes.
A couple of sawhorses and an old flat door served as a work table.
lay out the cloth... don't be cheap, because the cloth is, so allow plenty of extra.
Sit the panel on the cloth, approximately centered.
Spray the glue on the panel.
Flip the panel. Position the panel by eye and set it gently into place.
flip the whole works over.
Tug gently on the center of the cloth of one long side, while pressing down the cloth in the centerand working towards that side, 'wiping' the wrinkles towards the edges.
When you get about half way, start on the opposite side and do the same thing.
Now a short side.
now the other short side.
Here is the goal... you are pulling the fabric so that the strands of thread are straight and the wrinkles are being worked towards the corners.
Continue pulliung and wiping.
Wrap the corners with a hospital corner. Spray a little extra glue here.
Wrap again to the back side. like wrapping a Christmas package.
Done.
I set mine into some frames with thin plywood backs and 1x sides. I used standard construction adhesive to hold the panels into the frames. The frames gave me a good nailing/screwing surface to hold the assembly to walls or ceilings.
I sprayed the edges after pulling the face tight, and worked them out towards the corners, too. Not such a deal with one inch, but with four inch, it makes a difference in appearance.
