FWIW ..... my method of installing synthetic grille clothe was to iron it flat (no starches etc), then glue the edges only, pulling it tight and holding it tight somehow (depends on the board). Once well dried I just put a heat gun to it evenly. I have been fortunate that every cloth I have installed just shrank on it's own under heat and tightened up beautifully. I also used a soldering iron to open up speaker screw holes and melt thread ends to prevent fraying.
cheers
