I've been looking for a video to make panels for my dune Buggy and this was perfect! Thank you very much! Would love to see what you used to attach it.

[@AtomicAutoworksTV]

Thank you for watching. Glad we could help.

Nice video! I like the tip to remove the foam from the folded over edge to make it thinner. I’m concerned about the angle of the staples holding the corner material down. With the gun leaned toward the edge, it looks like the material could pull the staple out. Shouldn’t you staple straight down through the material or angled away from the edge? This would put a sheer force (perpendicular) or pulling the staple in force (away). Thoughts?

With the material glued , it really doesn’t pull much. The staples are just there for an added mechanical fastener. We usually angle the staples away from the pull if they have a lot of tension on them. Thanks for watching

How is your channeling staying put so well before you started stapling? You stood the panel up and it stayed in place? Glue?

[@AtomicAutoworksTV]

We do glue some of our material on. Sometimes we use a real light glue So we can move and remove other times we glue it on heavy and permanent.

At the beginning of the video, it was implied you make door upholstery designs like that and sell them so customers can attach it to their own panels. I looked at the website and didn't see anything like that. IS that something you offer?

[@AtomicAutoworksTV]

Yes we do. Because there are so many options. We asked customers to call and we custom make them per order. Thank you for watching.

Thanks for the video! Question, what size staples are you using and what would be considered standard upholstery staples? Thanks!

[@AtomicAutoworksTV]

We use many different size and style staples. Usually 1/2 crown in 1/4" , 3/8" . 1/2" & 5/16" are our most common in coated as well as stainless steel.

@@AtomicAutoworksTV Thanks for the info. Another question, what staple gun do you recommend?

[@user-wz3ex7of5x]

Did you glue down first?

[@AtomicAutoworksTV]

Sometimes we do a light glue to hold the pieces on before we rap. Gluing is always a personal preference. If a part is heavily curved we usually glue to keep it in place.
