Just a little more glue.......

Step 8: Just a little more glue.......

I glued the upper carpet section with a longer bottom section, so that when the rope was wrapped around, it would help to hold the carpet. That's the theory anyways. I suppose this part will vary from scratch post to scratch post. I didn't manage to take any more pictures unfortunately, but what I did was to glue the bottom section of the carpet to the board so I could bend the top "flap o' carpet" back and screw it down after the rope was wrapped. Kapish?

Yeah, so, glue the bottom flap, remove the board and wrap the rope. I started in the back and kinda tucked some rope, then started wrapping. When I got to the bottom, I just kinda tucked it underneath the board to hold it in place. I figured that Spot wouldn't be scratching there. Screw everything down and CAREFULLY spray more glue on the remaining "flap of carpet". Give it a few minutes to get tacky and stick that mother together. I glued another flap on the bottom. Just to make everything more confusing. Sorry...
