For all you mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.

I quit doing this job myself, I hire a professional, but I'm still interested in learning the process.
My question is about your gauge for marking the stretch.
Since the cloth is completely relaxed when you're drawing the stretch lines, it seems to me, if I used that tool the cloth would end up loose?
How does your gauge compensate for a cloth that's completely relaxed with dips and valleys, mostly from fold creases.
In real life do you need someone to hold on to the other side of the cloth? or The gauge has been calibrated somehow for the error and once the process starts it just all comes together somehow?
Interesting for sure.
Note: I didn't watch the entire video.

The video shows how the stretch is done, watch it.
Thanks Glen it's a great video and realy nice to have the info and tools you share with us all. have a great day buddy
Started vid... saw the 45min run time. enuff said
So you couldn't afford the time to watch, is that what you're saying?Started vid... saw the 45min run time. enuff said
Nope
That's ok, the video wasn't really directed to you anyway, it's more for the table mechanics that want to improve their skills in order to increase their skills and do better work! And to start supporting a new wave of mechanics starting to realize this is a skilled industry, and those that do better work, get more referrals thereby getting more work, it's more for the business minded workers!
Yeah, take a razor knife and cut the bondo from once side to the other following the seam, then the bondo has no effect when you pull the slates apart. If they've been superglue, use a little acetone to dissolve the superglueStarted vid... saw the 45min run time. enuff said
