CHEATING WITH CHAIR UPHOLSTERY tip

This is a mini tip to help your fingers and blood pressure get all the way through

removing old fabric from the wood base of your dining chairs.

Using something to pry the staples with like a flat screw driver

and something to pull with such as pliers, get that fabric ripped from

the wood anyway you see fit. A bonfire is not an option for the upcoming tip to be effective!

You have now pulled 7 hundred and fifty six staple and along the way you have avoided

the tricky stuff like these clumps from a happy staple user of the past.

Sometimes patience isnt enough to deal with every last staple and messy crap so ...

Pull all the easy ones, anything sticking up but leave the rest ...

then flip your board over and use the clean side.

This side of the wood has not seen the light of day in countless years and is brand new.

Unless you are the princess and the pea no one will feel or see a few staples left behind hiding

under new foam.
