I am about to replace the riempies on an old chair.
I see the article below refer to "hard" riempies which you have to soak first in order to get them soft.

I however bought soft white riempies, not the hard ones.
Question now is, must I still soak it or use it dry and how hard can I stretch them?
Is the soaking only to soften the riempies or is it also so it can shrink and stretch more once dried?

Hallo Pieter.
Die Idiee met die nat riempie is dat nadat die droog word die raam waarop jy sit stewig na mekaar toe gespan word.
As mens dit nie doen nie, sal die raam later uitmekaar rafel en dan raak die hele stoel lendelam.
Hoop dit help
Gtroete
