then was able to fairly neatly push the fabric home starting from the edges and working toward the handle.

I was concerned the glue would bleed through to the front, but no, it was fine and the finish is not too bad, for minimal effort.
I should have applied a little more glue, further in, but it's near enough.

If I get another 20 years from it, I can live with that.
Well done, and awaiting further info on that glue.
