How to Trim Down Wall Padding with Top & Bottom Nail Margins
Date Published: 02-05 - 2025
Here are directions on how to trim down wood-backed wall pads that have the top and bottom lips for nail margins.
Measure and mark the area to be trimmed on your pad.
Remove the staples from the top, bottom and backside of the pad and pull the vinyl back, out of the way.
Hint: Remember to remove all excess staples
Using a straight edge, draw a line from mark to mark. Measure one more time before proceeding.
Cut along the marked line with a circular saw, then use a utility knife to finish cutting the foam.
Hint: BE SURE YOU DO NOT CUT THROUGH THE VINYL.
Reattach the vinyl to the front of the pad.
Trim off excess vinyl as shown.
Now you can staple the vinyl to the wood backboard.
Start stapling on the top and bottom and finish with the longer side.
