In this step it helps to have a friend to help you out. Take the mesh you have prepared and spray it with a heavy coat of glue. The glue often takes 2 minutes to dry to the touch before it can be bonded. Carefully drape the fabric over the mesh avoiding any creases or seams and keep it tightly stretched. Setting a couple good heavy books on it and letting it dry overnight will help avoided the mesh pattern from coming through the top of the pad.


With the glue set and the pad dried, trim around the edge of the pad leaving a 1/2 inch of overhang with the material. Using some hot glue, carefully fold the material over the edge of the mesh creating a nice clean edge to the pad.




Using some double sided sticky tape that are 1/8th inch tall apply them to the bottom of the pad so as to adhere the new surface to the base. This will create a cavity that the air can be pulled through.




Position the pad surface on the base and press well. Using silicone or hot glue go around the edges to create a sleek and air tight seal.


Once again stack some books on the pad and let it sit over night to bond to the materials.
