Default Anyone know how to work with Tolex/vinyl? - 07-27-2008, 11:48 AM

I'm thinking of recovering my Crate XT120, nothings wrong with the Tolex covering it now except it's boring. The 2 places I found some at sell it by the yard ie: 36" x 54". About how much would I need for a 2x12 combo amp? Do you have to peel the old covering off? Whats the best glue to use? Do you try to use just one piece to cover the cab? Meaning do you try to make it "seamless" ? Thanks for any info. BTW here's the links to the sites I found the material at, now I just gotta make up my mind on which color.

Edit: I have to add, I am getting a new half stack in the next 3-4 months(sadly not the one I REALLY wanted), and am gonna use this amp as a back up, as well as practice for recovering with vinyl/tolex. The amp I'm getting is a Bugera 333xl, but I'm gonna recover it so it looks like "my" amp.


Always scoop the mids!!
