mine is crease free.....until i put it on the bike. the tank flexes the seat just enough to make a crease, i really dont care since my caboose covers it.

Didn't have any problems with the staple gun. 90% of them bottomed out, a few of them had to be whacked to drive them in the rest of the way. A lot of it had to do with how hard I pushed down on it. If its not pushed against the surface hard, it recoils back and doesn't drive the staple all the way in. Side affect of its light weight I guess.

I think the one that came off of it was an n-style? the top was meshy like this and the sides were white and green graphics that matched the bike. Looked good but in its old age the plasticy sides were cracking a lot and letting the foam underneath start to rot.

I use an industrial heat gun to allow the wrinkles to stretch out. You must have one kick a$$ staple gun, cause every KX i've ever covered, the biggest PIA was getting the staples to drive in clean !!   :x

Just a lil cheap POS from lowes ;) Have also used it for attaching shingles (shingled a 2x10 as a goat emery play ramp, no more hoof trimming :D ). And put a hardboard backing on a bookshelf with it. Shot straight through the hard board in to the wood. I was impressed. Again though, have to press down on it hard otherwise it pushes the light little gun back instead of the staple or nail in. Beats the heck out of the ol chrome manual staple guns Ive always had.
