Re: Non-sagging Bumpers Q&A Response

Guys,
WildStang has never used an adhesive or tape to secure the pool noodles prior to stapling the fabric. We fold over one edge and then staple it to the plywood. Then add the noodles, and pull the fabric tight around the plywood. We fold over the other edge and while pulling tight, we staple the second edge. It takes a little extra effort and usually two students working together, but it works as intended.
