Step 11Install edging around opening
Now you're ready to install the edging around the LCD opening. This is where we started to realize this was actually going to work.
Take one of the long pieces of edging, and have a friend hold it in place with the top just a hair underneath being level with the foam padding. It's better to end up with the edge slightly below the foam than slightly above it.
Put some brads in your staple gun, if it has the capability, and secure the edge in place. Repeat for the opposite side.
Really, any form of securing the edging to the table will work, as long as you can keep it in just the right place until it's secure. Using the staple gun with some brads in it was fast, and gave us no time to slip during the process.
When doing the remaining two sides, line up the ends with the two pieces of edging instead of the foam. You have a certain height set with the first two pieces, and you'll have a lot of trouble if the corners don't all line up.
Check for a good fit with the piece of glass, and if the size of the opening is right, put in several more brads per side to ensure the edging stays where you've put it.
If you end up with some gaps in between the foam and edging, fill them in using scraps. Our scrap material was a softer foam that had been wrapped around the table foam for shipping.
