Help from those who have made a padded rail for their Hold'em table

[PokerGoblin]

Hey guys

I built my first holdem table last night. I've built several octagons out of solid wood but this is the first holdem table I've attempted.

Everything went fine except for the rail. When applying the vinyl cover over the padding I was unable to get the vinyl to go on smooth... when I stretched it out inevitably I wound up with tons of wrinkles on the ends of the oval. And it looks terrible.

How do I remedy this? I have checked out some of the common web resources like PCPOTATO for example, but they basically say it's something you have to live with.

Has anyone been able to build a seamless rail without wrinkling the vinyl?

Thanks

PG
