VINYL STRAP REPLACEMENT

DOUBLE WRAP METHOD - Vinyl Strap Replacement

Getting Ready
Before you start, make sure that you have the items you need to complete this project. You will need:
  • scissors
  • drill
  • gloves
  • baby powder
  • hammer
  • pot of boiling water
  • towel
  • tongs
Step 1: Remove Old Straps
Using a pair of scissors, cut off all the old straps and fasteners. Clean chair frame at this time.
Step 2: Measure Frame
With a measuring tape, take the hole to hole measurement.Wrap the measuring tape around the frame as if it were a strap.
Step 3: Calculate Strap Length
Take the hole to hole measurement and multiply by .85 (85%). Then add one inch. This number will be your cut length.

Example:
Hole to hole measurement = 33”
Hole to hole measurement x .85 = 28”
Add one inch.
Cut length: 29”

Step 4: Cut Vinyl Straps
Using scissors and a measuring tape, cut the desired number of straps at the cut length.

Do not cut all of your straps at once, you may want to adjust your strap length after you see how the fi rst few straps fit
around the frame.

Step 5: Drill or Punch Holes for Rivets
Using a leather punch or and electric drill with a 3/16” bit, carefully drill a hole in the center of the strap, 1/2” from the end of the strap. Make sure to drill a hole on both ends.
Step 6: Trim Corners
Once all straps are cut and drilled, we recommend trimming off the corners of both sides of every strap.
Step 7: Heat Vinyl Strap
Using a hot plate or other heat source, boil a large pot of water. Once the water has come to a boil, insert several straps. Reduce heat so water remains hot but not boiling. Allow straps to stay in water at least two minutes. Leaving them in longer will not hurt them.
Step 8: Insert Fastener
From here on, gloves are recommended to be worn as the straps can be very hot coming out of the water. Remove one
strap with a pair of tongs and dry it with a towel. Insert rivets into both ends of the strap.
Step 9: Dip Strap in Baby Powder
Dip hot straps in baby powder, this will keep the straps from sticking while you wrap.
Step 10: Attach Fastener to Frame
While strap is hot, approach frame from underneath. Attach the rivet to the frame and. . .
