If you changed out grille cloths, then you know there is a boatload of staples to take out. This is a task I can do without. Not only is the grille cloth stapled, but the edging is stapled on top of the grille cloth. If you do not have new edging (piping), then you will have to be careful to save it. Once you got all of this off, the grille cloth is easy to lay down with some 3M spray adhesive or equivalent. However you are going to need and air stapler to run staples back into that pressboard. I don't think an electric will work, unless it's a real heavy duty model. When I changed my 602 over to cane cloth, I was glad I had an air stapler.

It's like giving birth, when it's all done you forget about the pain.
