Never Tolexed Before… Think I Nailed This Bright Red Cab. HBU?

Описание: This is the first time I’ve ever applied Tolex—but I didn’t want it to look like a first time. I was working on a StewMac 1x12 speaker cab and decided to go bold with bright red British-style vinyl with white and black appointments. I spent a lot of time researching how to get professional results using a Fender style tolex wrap, and then went all-in: adhesive, seam control, clean corners, pressure rolling… the whole deal.

There’s still more to do—grill cloth, speaker, wiring—but this video is all about the Tolex work.

So what do you think? Does it look like a first attempt? I’d be curious to get your (constructive) feedback in the comments and any tips that have worked for you.
