What it is:
- A specialized metal strip designed for upholstery, particularly for creating finished edges on curved areas like chair arms, wings, and backs.
Benefits:
- Ideal for curves: The bendable metal conforms easily to curved surfaces, unlike cardboard tack strips, which can be challenging to use on non-linear surfaces.
- Strong and secure: The metal teeth firmly grip the fabric, ensuring a tight and clean finish that resists sagging or rippling.
- Long-lasting: The metal construction provides superior durability compared to cardboard alternatives.
- Convenient format: The 30-meter coil offers ample material for multiple projects and simplifies cutting to desired lengths.
Application process:
- Staple the strip: Secure the metal back tack to the chair frame using staples.
- Fold the fabric: Fold the fabric over the metal teeth, ensuring it's tucked securely.
- Close the pli-grip: Use an upholstery mallet to gently tap and close the pli-grip (a specialized tool resembling a pair of pliers) over the folded fabric edge. This further secures the fabric and creates a clean, finished look.
Overall:
The Upholstery Metal Back Tack is a valuable tool for upholsterers, especially when working with curved furniture pieces. It offers a strong, convenient, and long-lasting solution for achieving professional results.
