British Style Black Grill Cloth 48"W (Marshall® Replacement)

I bought this to replace torn and stained grill cloth on a 1960A cab. It was exactly as described and relatively easy to install - albeit getting it fitted tightly and cleanly required a slow, methodical approach. 1 unit was enough to replace the cloth on my cabinet.

While it looks authentic, there are two problems: 1- it seems thicker than the grill cloth I have on my other Marshall. 2- it is very brittle- the plastic cloth will crush under staples. I got it in place, but I don't know how long it will hold. When it fails, I am going to try a different cloth.
