Remove old riempies and tacks using cutter and tack remover.
Clean any grime that settled under the old riempies.
Remove riempie that has been soaking. Wipe with cloth along its length to remove excess water.
Remove Prestik from tapered end.
Thread riempie through first hole (from underneath of chair) leaving about 1–2 centimeter (0.4–0.8 in) underneath.
Turn chair over and secure end of riempie to the chair frame using an upholstery tack and the hammer.
Thread riempie through hole opposite the first one (from top of frame down).
Pull the riempie as taut as you can and secure it in place by inserting forceps or nail in the hole together with the riempie. This prevents the riempie from becoming loose and sagging.
Thread the riempie up through the next hole then across to the opposite side. Once it has been threaded down through the opposite hole, pull it taut, remove the forceps from its first position and insert in the new position.
Continue in this way until the riempie is used up. Leave enough that you are still able to pull the riempie taut.
Turn the chair over, secure the end with a tack and cut off any excess riempie.
