Tighten sagging cane chair seatTurn the chair upside down and place a folded towel on the raw underside of the cane chair seat and get the towel sopping wet. Let it sit on the cane for several hours so that the cane is completely wet. Let the cane dry completely without using it. The cane should be nice and taut when it's dried.You should check the towel for wetness every hour or so to be sure that the sagging cane seat is getting thouroughly soaked. This project should be done outside or in a bathtub to save a lot of water from dripping on the floor. If it's too cold or too hot ouside or you don't have a bath tub you can make a drip pan from some rolled up towels and a piece of plastic sheeting. Roll the towels or something else to make a raised square under the cane seat chair and put the plastic sheeting over the square to make a little reservoir to catch the dripping water. Let the wet sagging cane chair seat dry for at least 24 hours to let it get to it's maximum tightness.
