The staples are too long because it's 1/4 inch plywood. It pokes through the cover on the top. I pulled them all out and will have to think on this one a while.
My husband used spray adhesive. First layer was the heat resistant padding to the plywood and then we covered that with Warm & Natural batting, also using the spray adhesive......and then finally covered that with a draw-string cover of muslin.......works great.
Just watch how the spray adhesive reacts to heat. It is very flammable when sprayed; don't know how it is after it sets up.
I've been using it for some time now and everything is fine...
