    I helped my buddy reupholster his camper, and what we did with his fold out bed was we bought 1 inch strips of plastic folded the fabric over them and used self tapping screws to screw them into the metal frame.

    We were just told my son has been given a camper for graduation. It's almost as old as I am. I've been looking for inspiration so I can tackle this thing with confidence. I happened upon this video and it gave me hope.
    By the way what you did to the cushions is upholstery, no sewing is required. Tattoos definitely belong in craft stores.

    Hey there a tip I use for my commissions is for the handles is if they’re metal, lightly sand them and then after every cost of paint (primer, paint, clear coat) bake them in like a old oven even like a small toaster oven. Bake them @200 deg F for around 30- hour. The baking creates a stronger bond and creates a durability similar to powder coating. :) I hope this helps

    You did a pretty good job. Suggestion for the floor. Cut the carpet around everything, then put 1/4" Lunan plywood down, fill in all the joints with wood filler, after getting a smooth surface install the peel and stick flooring of your choice.

    For the trim, honestly black tape. Like for automotive use, cover chrome trim on cars with it. It would be flexible, it's made for outside of a car I'm sure it would hold up for that. I say black because I think it would offset the counter top and cabinet sides well.

  • @carolgoering6585
    @carolgoering6585 3 роки тому

    I watched a video last night of "professional" painters paint oak cabinets. They did not attempt to fill in the grain at all. They taped off everything in the kitchen and rolled the paint on the cabinet bases. I'm glad you filled in the grain. I have used Aqua Coat and it did a fantastic job. Hot glue was not a good choice. RV's when not in use RV's get very hot inside.That's an easy fix after the glue re-melts.

    Hog rings is what they would normally use to secure the fabric instead of cable ties. The hog ring pliers and hog rings are pretty cheap. Might be a tool to add to your stash if you plan on doing a bunch more upholstery work. If its a one time deal the cable ties basically do the same thing as the rings though. Nice work!

    You can use Ritz (fabric Dye) Get a very large stainless steel pot and a bottle of Ritz. There are specific directions on the bottle referencing heating temperatures etc. I used to use it for my business dyeing nylon and Delrin pieces before I found black sheets of those materials. Once you dye it, the parts stay whatever color since it actually permeates the pores of the material vs paint (or plasti dip) which is a surface finish. Alternatively, that material they use is very similar to the handrails for motorized escalators so I'm sure you could do a quick internet search for the width and color you need if you'd rather replace than restomod it. Good Luck, love the channel.

    Great job! I loved how the futon turned out. The upholstery job is stellar. The striated, tone-on-tone fabric went with the 80’s wallpaper. I agree with the comments on the Plasti-dip. Ordering new trim may not be an option for you. But check out your local stone yard to see if you can get your hands on some remnant material. Make a countertop template and see if you can spend $200 or so for some granite or quartz. But overall sweet Reno!
