The quickest and cheapest method of application is by the use of tacks or staples. When it is necessary to bend material over an edge and tack or staple on the edge, it is desirable to prebend or score material to a slightly narrower width than the width of the panel, to get a good tight job. After first fastening the flat edge, the prebent edge will then serve to stretch the material good and tight. The bent edge can be cut off after fastening with a razor blade or knife. The preferred method here is to apply adhesive to either the cane or the substrate.
Pressure is necessary to get good adhesive contact.
Use any clear finish to preserve the natural color of the cane. Testing of your desired finish on the cane prior to production is recommended. Prime with a sealer prior to staining. Apply any stain or coloring agent compatible with the sealer used. Sealing the cane is necessary to stabilize the product, if obtaining a uniform appearance is desired.
