Members tlbonehead Posted October 18, 2006 Members Share Posted October 18, 2006 Lots of sources. A search should bring up a bunch. What are you pinching in for keywords? As for how much, measure the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually buy my Tolex from Doug Jenkins ,his price is $16.00 per yard and he gets $21.00 for grille cloth. There is some tips on appling Tolex as well as some info on the best glue to use here, Tolex Tutorial Good Luck with your project... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's pretty much it. Remeber the Tolex is 54" wide so cut in half that's 27" so USUALLY you can use 1/2 width to do the sides of the cabinet. Usually the back panel on a 4x12 takes the biggest single piece. What kind of cabinet are you covering? I assume your AMP is a head. That dosen't reallytake a lot of material.

Members Casey4s Posted October 18, 2006 Members Share Posted October 18, 2006 Themetalkid, Here is the info you requested in your PM to me.Tolex info part 1 Tolex Application This is simply how I Do Tolex projects. This is not intended to be the definitive method, but rather what has worked for me so far. There are probably a hundred different ways to do this, so take this at face value. There are three photo albums that accompany this text if you print them and this text and use it as a guide when doing your work it may be helpful, especially to the first timer. For the photo albums it is a good idea to use the "Thumbnail" and the "Show All" toggles at the top of the pages for easier viewing and printing. Materials: I use DAP Contact Cement. There is also a water-soluble product that I understand works well but costs much more. Either Product requires adequate Ventilation. I use two box fans in a "Push Pull" configuration. There are some spray products on the market but they are a pain to work with, and set very fast. The best solvent to use is Mineral Spirits, it cleans brushes and spills, as well as hands. I like to use cheap disposable Brushes, and a 3" trim roller for large surfaces. These are available in most home centers, like Home Depot, or any hardware store. Wax Paper is great to cover anything that you don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
