Mending Doors

I had not even thought of it until now............

I also have seperated Tambour doors in the same location.

I am going to precut a piece of canvas to fit, (minus the 3/4").

I will then coat the canvas with 3M spary adhesive, ( I have used this stuff for upholstery and it is sticky stuff), and apply it to the door while in place.

I may even use Contact glue since it will be dry when I apply the canvas to the door. (requires coating both surfaces, canvas and back of door and allow to dry) Be careful because they dont call it contact glue for nothin'.

I understand that some people will not be able to do this due to the location of the seperation. If the seperation is near the leading end, (coil end), then the door will have to be in the closed position. This would prevent access.

Fortunately, my seperation is in the middle and I think I maight be able to pull this off, er put this on, that is..............

I will post results when I complete the job
