Hey guys, just a question, on my SDAs, the cloth is loose around some edges. Does anyone know what they used, or what I should use to attach it back in place?

Thanks!

    They use staples so I'd say just pull it and add some staples to the back.


    Are you talking about the side cloth or front grill cloth?

    They did not use staples on the grills or the sides, they used some type of glue. Aleene's Tacky Glue will do the trick.

    I have staples on my SDA grills. Someone must have changed the cloth. Just because it doesn't have staples on yours does mean you can't add any. It'll be alot easier to add staples to fix the pull side vs messing around with glue. Both will work.

    If I remember, you can get that glue at the local craft store. The cloth on my SRSs is coming off in places, I will use that glue and let you guys know how it goes.
