<html> <body> Hi Ed,               This is truly a job for Hot hide glue. Glue one side of the wippen cloth first, use a little finger pressure for about 10 secs to give the glue time to hold.  Now glue the other side of the cloth, making sure the cloth is stretched across the under felt. You will not need any clamps.   Learning how to work with Hide Glue is an essential part of the trade. Slow setting glues wick into felt and cloth, and often defeats the reason why the cloth has been used in the first place. Hope this helps Regards Roger t 10:14 PM 11/11/2006, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Will anyone offer advice/experience on glueing new action cloth to the bottom of upright whippens? I know to only glue down the ends of the felt and not in the middle where the capstan will contact the felt. What I can't figure out is a good way to clamp down each felt while the glue dries.
