I got the idea of the tape from others using it for vinyl roofs; I tried it and the texture of the masking tape was wonderful. I'd seen others using wire for the piping, and realized thread would look better, be easier to work with, cost less, and comes in NUMEROUS colors .....
I'll have to check it out! About bedtime for this old timer.. (Not sure why, but I noticed your comment was flagged as inappropriate - no idea why! I had to approve it! Stupid algorithms...)
I don't understand how I wasn't following your page I like your positive talking and this is the first video I've seen of yours. Little tip for your beard i tucked mine inside my shirt to keep it out of my projects lol ill also either braid it or just put it in a ponytail 😅 anyways thanks for the tip for the seats I'll definitely use these in my arsenal for future builds thank you 😊
And across this video. I've long thought about using thread for piping. I was planning on pulling it through mod podge and then my fingers to remove the excess. That way it would be on the thread and you could just put it in place. Nice tutorial and I've subbed your channel. Us little guys gotta help each other grow our channels. I'll be checking out your videos. Thanks for sharing this! Sam
Pulling the thread through the glue - now that's an idea!! Thanks for that!! (I have NO idea if I can get mod podge - modge podge? I've heard it called both - around my area. never looked...) And I just returned the favor - you got a sub as well, and I'll be checking out your vids over the weekend. Thanks a bunch!!
Funny! I thought only those of us from the Delmarva (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia) Peninsula called all dark sodas "Coke"...Great seat technique, learned some new skills.
Excellent look! I did this many years ago for the seats in a convertible. I used very fine electrical wiring. If I did it again, I'd use thread for sure.
Your video just showed up in my feed so I'd come by & check it out great idea on the seats cool tip thanks for your service & thanks for sharing dropped you a sub too.
Accent. I play virtually all YT videos at x1.5 speed and did not notice an accent. But, I am a Southerner. 😂 Someone else complemented you on your delivery but I'll take it a step further and say some of the words used (at x1.5) reminded me of Bob Ross! 😁 Half expected you to say happy little seat! 😂😂😂Subscribed.
Hey, I just came across this video, and I love your presentation skills. It feels like I'm working at my bench with an old friend. Thank you doing this, and I look forward to more videos. Best of luck with your channel from subscriber #14!
Sweet!! thanks a bunch! I'm still working on figuring out the best way of doing things - I'm using an iPhone and jerry-rigged "camera" mounts. as of right now, I don't have any regular schedule set up; it's mostly as I do things. I do appreciate the support!! 😊
I hadn't seen it before, either. I did see one guy use wire, but it seemed too big (at least the wire I had), and thread comes in SOOO many colors ... I tried it and liked the results, so ..
Excellent video! I primarily, restore diecast cars. This would work great on the larger scales, Here's a tip for you to try. If you go to where they sell ladies fingernail polish (or Amazon), you can find a real fine chrome tape, that is maybe a 1/16" wide. It can be used on dashes, door handle window winders, etc. We Jesters have to stick together.
Wow. Great look. I put a vinyl top on a model about 25 years ago, couldnt remember what kind of tape I used. It was this, masking tape and painted it. Thanks!
I haven't done a car with a vinyl roof yet; been meaning to. I plan on using good ol' masking tape. I've seen vinyl top "kits" available online - you can buy several rolls of masking tape for what ONE kit costs!
i just noticed your rig. I hauled gasoline, jet fuel, and heating oil. With sand and gravel trucking too. Class 1 haz mat, tanks, air brakes, top heavy. redi mix straight jobs too. It was nice back then, to make a living driving.
I learned to drive in the Permian Basin oilfield; one of my first runs was an acid tanker. Half full, weighing around 85K, smooth bore. I was to take it 15 miles, deliver it, and return to the yard. NEVER hauled a tanker again!! I have pulled an A-frame end dump for a short while. I've pulled reefers and dry vans. but flatbedding has always been my favorite, especially permit loads.
Thanks! Another person commented a bit better idea that I'm going to try - instead of putting glue on the seat, he put glue on his fingers and pulled the thread through the glue. I haven't tried it yet, but it would be logical it would leave less mess..
amazing how many ideas people come up with. I remember people tearing masking tape and putting the peice's on a wine bottle at random. Then they would stain the tape with almost any pigment including dark brewed tea. it looked beautiful. Why not use it to add texture? great video
Just watched someone use foam and very thin phone charger wire. It turned out nice. This technique, however, looks easier to deal with. I like to use micropore medical tape for carpeting.
Standard all purpose sewing thread, no real size. if you want more pronounced piping, you can start into embroidery thread (but it's not as tightly woven) or simply thicker than standard; for smaller, look at fine. Coats and Clark brand, find it anywhere you find thread, and whatever color you want. Walmart, Hobby Lobby.. If your wife has a sewing box, she'd have some.
That's an impressive technique!! Looks real good!!
Thank you'!
thank you sir! A creative and useful technique to add detail, I tried it out and the results were impressive. I subbed. please keep them vids coming!
Fantastic! Glad it worked for you! 😊
Such a simple process, thank you

Great job. It's always fun to learn new techniques. I've always used tissue paper for leather.
That's interesting - I never thought of tissue paper..!

Awesome! glad to have you onboard!
Yeah, I do tuck my beard in when I think about it. I do when I eat something messy.. I've since trimmed it a bit. 😊
@TexJester-no8th seems like this only happens to the best of us cause I do the same lol 😆

Just found your channel & subbed. Excellent video!
Awesome! Thank you!! 😊
Intresting idea Tex, they came out pretty realistic. Thanks for sharing,
first time I tried it, it kinda surprised me. I had seen one guy using fine wire, but what I have looked too big, so I dipped into a thread stash..
Very cool. Tim Carson at Box Stock Garage sent me. Subbed 👍
AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!
And THANK YOU, Tim!! 😃😊
And I think I've seen Josh at VCG Resins has mentioned you a few times..
Real nice work on the seats! The tape and thread really play the part. I subscribed! 😉 Thanks for sharing 😎👍
Thanks so much!!
Nice 😊

Very neat way of doing both the piping and making leather looking seats. Just found your channel and have subscribed!
Awesome! Thanks!
Very nice effect. Subbed.

Hadn't heard of micropore tape .. gonna need to look into it.
Very nice tips thank you. What size thread do you use??

@@TexJester-no8th Thank you very helpful
FYI-The PVA glue labeled "School Glue" is the weaker strength.
Ok, thanks ... 😊
