I'm suprised you did this outdoors. Furthermore, your video encourages other people to do the same...

[@mariusengelsen7194]

Nice video, but I hope that people does this kind of jobs inside to keep the foam dust from spreading in the nature.

What is wrong with you?

[@MrSolzin]

Nice grinder wheels...I use a paint stripper wheel and sandpaper.
I like to add a drain groove on the underside to help with sponging water from the boat.

Pure awesomeness thanks for sharing

[@eric3810101]

thanks for that!

I made mine almost exactly the same way ten years ago. I finished it with some fabric from a auto seat cover and contact adhesive. It fits my ass perfectly to this day. I can spend all day in it without getting sore.

[@jennysmith6604]

would marine glue work for this? not sure what to use that won't melt the polyethylene or the foam.

[@stevescam001]

@@jennysmith6604 I believe Marine glue would work. Spray-on contact adhesive melted neither for me.

Thanks very good video. What kind of foam was that?

[@lov2playtn]

Good work. Where did you get the foam. I am looking to make a solid backrest for my Hurricane Santee 116 kayak. The bottom is great, but a high back rest would complete the seating situation. Thanks.

[@marydaley7862]

Thanks ..where can you get the foam...small amount...any advice ?

[@pauld9530]

hi Nick do you know what grade foam it is?

[@cubul32]

Is minicel too hard for making a bench/upholstery in a van?

[@NickSchade]

It is not important that the seat be soft if it is shaped right. You don't need much cushion when the shape is good.

excessively soft seat impairs blood flow

[@sok8888]

There is hardly any cushion left to support the butt...... :-(.... :(

[@koffiecake]

Hey look a time portal

[@saksa8937]

I like the project, but not the place. All this grated foam out in nature...

Kill the music

It looks nice, but You are spreading a lot of MICRO-PLAST. Please consider a way to minimize this. Kayaking is about enjoying nature. Lets keep it clean. :-)
